Wonderful pic. I can add that his full name according to the churck book Sankt Gallen in der Steiermark is "Carl Boromäus".

Although a former Austrian General staff officer he did not manage to get a troop officer set up in the Wehrmacht and only become E-officer. His commands include

Kdr. Gebirgsjägerregiment 143 27.05.1940-22.12.1940
FR: 23.12.1940-14.02.1941
