From Edelbruth's Wehrpass, issued Feb 1938.

It is almost impossible to say with any certainty what trades those men were in due to the B&W nature of the photos. If the collar tabs are red then they are flak. Have you tried to contact Byron Tesapsides who has authored books on the Germans in Greece, including the detailed Die Deutsche Luftwaffe in Griechenland (ISBN: 9606307409)?

I'm afraid not. It starts in January 1942.

Two more examples, including his stamped signature.

Sorry to hear of his passing and at no age at all really.
