I do not think the locale is Dachau, although the collar patch is something, especially in 1944.
The reverse says: both smile, both look (in expectation...)
then there is something to chew.

The text in the upper lefts corner does say "Dachau, im August 1944".

Thanks for your thoughts, I thought that the "flora and fauna" in the background did appear a bit exotic, but I just thought that this may be from a garden area such as the Camp Commandants premises. I recall Hoess had very nice gardens at Auschwitz and imagine these evil brutes never photographed themselves by the wires. Leon.

Hello Chris, I am not sure, it maybe a Standart 1 Totenkopf tab? Hard to tell. Leon.

I noticed that, too. It doesn't look like vegetation that grows around here.
Another observation: The caption in the upper left corner is in different handwriting from the rest of the text; they were written by two different persons (or by one person who - for some reason - wrote one part in Sütterlin and one in modern script).

Very true, odd to place such a provocative annotation to the reverse? I like the image/photograph itself as being a good original period piece. I also like the Dachau dated section, but the modern script does seem strange, almost like some sick minded joke, but I guess as we all know, the guy in the image was one sick, nasty piece of work so who knows?

I wonder what he called his dog.....
