Nein,

I believe he is a Soldat in the Wehrmacht, rank Schutze (private). The national eagle is used rather than the Luftwaffe eagle on his cap. His collar tabs also shows that he is NOT an NCO or officer...ditto on the shoulder straps. Can't tell the color of his waffenfarbe so you can't be sure what branch of the army he was with. Long story short, just a "grunt."
