This photo is from "Waffen SS im Westen" book. It is from French campaign in 1940. The guy is an officer and the gun probably an MP38. If you look at the photo all of them seem to be tall. These were the days when they could and did observe tight height and physical standards for their recruits especially for the SSVT.
I’ve seen this pic before. It is definitely early given the uniforms and gear. Looks like they’ve mud smeared their helmets for camo. Probably Belgium or France, PK pic.
