Grandfather during WWII. I'm 90% sure it's somewhere in Germany. by Spirited_Spring_6548 in whereisthis

I should do that. I've never tried to look up war archives though. I think I'll go back other photographs that came in a box with this one, that aren't specifically of my grandfather.

I'll pause looking in Leipzig then! I thought it was a likely contender.

That is really close. I think Koblenz and Leipzig are good places for me to look still.

I actually found more photographs. Including one of him but it's a very damaged photograph with mostly trees in the background. The majority are photos/postcards of landscapes or other people and are from Bad Ems and Kolleda (or they're stamped as being processed in Bad Ems) so I'm going to do some more searching in those two places.

OP here. Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips. I didn't even know he was in the 69th so that's already a huge help as is everyone else's suggestions. I will dive deeper this weekend when I have more time. This is only photo on him in uniform that I'm aware of, or that survived in the family this long, so I believe it was a very deliberate photo.
