No, there is clearly a strap rising from the pistol at a 45 degree angle towards the soldier's collar, which is completely separate from the binocular straps, which are both vertical. This might be the strap for a map case, as the soldier is an NCO, and the pistol might be attached to this, but not to the binoculars.
This looks like the fall of France, as the soldier he is trying to take custody of appears to be French.
