fan_of_the_pikachu This is a rather mysterious photograph. Most indentify the man as a German from the 1940s, but [a Redditor two years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/55peyt/a_friend_of_my_grandfathers_from_wwii/d8ffwhe/) guessed that he might be an American soldier on the East Coast (nevermind the title of that post, it’s obviously fake). Tried to find the original source, but I couldn’t go further than [this 2013 post in r/pics.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1j6x1z/tanning_the_alpha_way/) Any guesses based on his uniform?

Dunno myself, but it looks like a shoe in for the best shot of the war.
