The last name may be "Meyer". This is a twill "Trikot". Doeskin is a very fine fabric and it does not have a ribbed texture. The insignia would need a hands on but it displays well. The eagle looks like it is loosely tacked on there. If you got it for a decent price I would be happy with it all the way from the thumbs of your toes to the nape of your shoulders.

All we can say is, that your tunic is plausible and therefore believable.
If the insignia is real, and estimating based on the rank, he probably would have been killed, captured or wounded badly enough to be sent home and out of Active service before the end of 1942.
