Hi Nuk3m,
Thanks for sharing these images. Where were they found? The state of preservation seems to be excellent. Were there any records with them, such as a soldier's pay book, or a dog tag? If you want to find out more about the identity of the person who supposedly left these things back then, you could try to follow up on the name of the paymaster or provost written on the postcard. The shoulder pieces with the Aesculab symbol (snake winding around staff) on the jacket seem to indicate medical personnel.
I believe that there are institutions and records in Germany that you could access or contact for help.
There are probably still a lot of missing-persons cases from the time of WWII.
Just my two cents.
