It's a "BLINDED in WAR SERVICE" Armband.... as you can see evidence of his major wounds! Interesting ribboned medal and belt buckle that doesn't look like typical Heeres.... very unique photo... 1st I've seen being worn by a soldier in uniform.... thanks for sharing.

Deutsche Reichsbahn with combat awards. Most likely suffered an injury which prohibited him from front line service.
Looking at the way he is standing his left leg may have been injured.

Cheers,
Larry

Am not aware of a magazine-fed MG 18 in German service; There was the MG 13 but its pouches were quite different. Also mag pouches would seem an odd choice for that belt-fed MG 34.

Hi, what kind of uniform is this? Looks like a Police one but with Army eagle. The picture was taken in 1936.

I think he is wearing a Italian tropical jacket, with adapted German shoulder boards
