Wehrmacht soldier

Wehrmacht soldier in the ardennes offensive, this picture was taken from a captured film unit.... you can see a clip of this very solider if you watch the "World At War" documentry series. it is the "pincers" episode. You can see the look of pain and defeat in the eyes of the man, I have often wondered if the man in the picture surivied the war?? This was the picture the got me reading about the Battle of the bulge, I even have a copy of this picture hanging with my other military photos in my office. I would have to say that this is one of the more famouse picture from the battle of the bulge.

Good spotting mate but I can't see what I'm meant to be looking for. Is it that button thing on his collar?
Welcome, by the way!
 
I think he means directly behind the dagger handle..certainly does look like the SS emblem. (Y)
 
Good spot, Ronny25, can just see the SS-Runes on his collar behind the knife. The knife looks very like a Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife too. BUT,
how do you know he's Hitlerjugend? I can't see any clues for that!
