He was a German living in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. According to my grandmother, when the SS rolled in, he was conscripted into their service.
This is the only picture I have of him. Can anyone comment on the type of hat he is wearing? Can it perhaps give a clue as to what he did during World War II?

Austrian M58 Stahlhem Type 2 - The mfr stamp is all but gone, you can just make out that the stamp did exist. The last two digits are barley readable, under good light and look to be a 7 and a 2, which would make sense.
