With that chest patch I'd suppose he was on the German Olympic team.
Sad that war then as today has to take people away from life in such short years.
This days of the week that started 4 june to 7 june are the anniversary week of Midway & Normandy. The toll in these actions are staggering and one wonders how society endured the loss.
So much sorrow and grief accompanies all of this

However, his cap EdelweiĆ identifies him as a mountain trooper and the patch says "SS GebJg" (= GebirgsjƤger) too. However, the SS did not yet have any mountain troops when the 1936 Olympics took place.

It could have been for one of these schools, just a possibility.
