Update: the picture at the bottom is actually from 1927, not 1926 (it's the April 1927 issue of Moderne Welt.) Going missing in Krakau on July 1, 1944 is weird

Update: the picture at the bottom is actually from 1927, not 1926 (it's the April 1927 issue of Moderne Welt.) Going missing in Krakau on July 1, 1944 is weird, as the Red Army was still well to the east, where it was destroying Army Group Center in Operation Bagration. Minsk had not yet fallen. Maybe this guy deserted?
