Surname looks to me like 'Bertrich'.

First name looks like 'Bar', not a German name or abbreviation I've ever heard of.....

Hi,

If the first part is 'Bad', it's more likely the name of a location.

The low grip position usually indicates an inexperienced shooter. First time shooters often hold a pistol in this manner.

Bad Bertrich is indeed a small town in Germany.

Thanks for input!
Looks like it might be a location instead of a name.
Thats interesting..
I searched in Google Earth, and found Bar Bertrich. Looks like a nice little town with fields, river and forest, just like on the picture:)

Carry on the search
 

Now you need to find which field, and try to dig out the bullets from the tree he fired at :D

:D
This is just the beginning! I will also find the empty case and the now 100 year old L�«utnant (if alive), reload the case and take him out to shoot his Luger once again! With a more firm grip;)
He probably missed the tree back then..

My friend's uncle lived in Norway. He just found these pics in his basement:
