Can anyone identify the badge on the pocket and uniform rank?

I believe the badge on the left side of the pocket is a German Infantry Assault Badge, and the ribbon emerging from the shirt hole is for an Iron Cross award. However, I am not sure what the badge on the pocket represents.  Could it be a wounded badge? Wounded badges are solid, and this badge doesn’t look solid.  I am also guessing the uniform is that of an Infantryman. Any help would be appreciated.

My guess is that he is Fallschirminfanterie.
I think it's the Army's airborne badge.

It looks like a silver wound badge.

I agree, it looks like a Wound badge.

Considering the size, I thought the opinions of the other members were  correct.

You should be able to see white piping on the shoulder boards if he was infantry.

Why is his face blocked? To protect his identity?

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts. 🙂

 I’ve pointed out the shoulder board and found a picture of a white piped one.

Someone else's 2 cents. Badge on right most likely a silver wound badge.  The one on left most likely the Infantry Assault badge ... Fallschirm?  If he boots were not bloused I would say probably not, but maybe 🙂
