Help identifying this Waffen SS unit

[JAM]

This is a picture of my grandfather and his unit, taken somewhere on the eastern front, and I don't know which year. A Danube Schwabian, he was born in Krdinja, Yugoslavia (in present day Croatia), and my grandmother told me that he was first drafted into the Yugoslav army, and then drafted in the the German army. Looking at the uniform, and knowing a little history, I am pretty sure this is a Waffen SS unit, but if anyone could suggest any further details over which unit it is, I would appreciate it. I haven't had too much luck searching for more details with the limited info I have.

And here is] the dress uniform, which may also help. My dad is on his grandma's lap in this picture: [attachment=0]Dad's family WW2.jpg[/attachment

Not a Waffen-SS unit as such. He's with the Einsatzstaffel der Deutschen Mannschaft in Kroatien.

For some info on that force, see:
