Perhaps Nazi soldier and family

My father, Dixon Etheridge, brought this photo home from the European Theater of World War II. My mother kept it along with family photos. I suspect my father removed it from the body of a dead German soldier. The stains on the photo appear to be blood.

If this is your family or relative I will gladly give the photo to you. On the back of the photo in green ink is written "Hab uns immer Lieb!"
Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.

the german saying
have the property of my love
the uniform is a common german soldier with wife and child
nazi soldiers wore black uniforms not grey.
The officer is an SS-Untersturmfuhrer in the Waffen-SS (equiv to UK 2nd Lieut). Medal is Iron Cross 2nd Class. Hardly a "common German soldier"!
His uniform insignia show him as an SS-Obersturmfuher (1st LT). The writing "Our love, always"
He was SS-Oberscharführer,from infantry.You may see his uniform on 's M-43 number.
BTW-sad story.
so nice
