Identification from photos
I recently found a few photos of my great-grandfather from Austria during WWII and I’m trying to figure out more about his military service.
He was born in 1902 and was reportedly forcibly drafted around 1941 after he spoke negatively about Hitler and someone reported him to the Gestapo in Vienna. He was then sent to the Eastern Front.
The problem is that I can barely find any records or information about him anywhere.
I only have a few photos, so I’m hoping maybe someone here can help identify things like:
- his unit
- rank
- uniform details
- possible location/front
- or anything else visible
He was from Vienna, Austria.
