Had this posted elsewhere with some feedback but I am trying to find out if this man was Heer and he added the Totenkopf for photos or if the totenkopf was part of his uniform. Thank you.

Traditiom Totenkopf
You have a nice couple of Fotos! He is wearing a GAB badge and possibly either part of a Kav. unit or Aufklaerungs. He also looks to be wearing a unit slip-tab on his shoulder strap. I think the tradition in this case involves Reiter Rgt. 5

Prewar the Reiter/Kav units were used to form the cadre of Aufklaerungs Abteilungen.
A new Kav. Rgt. 5 "Feldmarschall von Mackensen" was later formed and used the tradition Totenkopf.Attached Files
