I recognise the ribbon bar- it's Generalmajor Oskar Munzel.

The headstone has a coat of arms surmounted by a Count / Earl's coronet, if that helps. In German ... Graf

In German kingdoms, the title Graf was combined with the word for the jurisdiction or domain the nobleman was holding as a fief and/or as a conferred or inherited jurisdiction, such as Markgraf (see also Marquess), Landgraf, Freigraf {"free count"}, Burggraf, where burg signifies castle; see also Viscount, Pfalzgraf {translated both as "Count Palatine" and, historically, as "Palsgrave"}, Raugraf ("Raugrave", see "Graf", and Waldgraf (comes nemoris), where wald signifies a large forest).

Too bad we don't have a clearer image of the Coat-of-Arms.
