Hallo Kai,

Unfortunately I can't see the pic. Are you sure this link should work?

Regards,
Timo

Looks like he is from 16. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division Reichsführer-SS; SS-Unterscharführer (Senior-Corporal).

And could that badge be a Wound Badge?

Aha, now I see it.

And I agree with Mark

Could be a wound badge, could also be the infantry assault badge - hard to tell.

I kinda did some editing to the image. It looks like a Wound Badge more than anything! Also, weren't Wound Badges more common than any?
