The uniform here is was worn for a very short period , therefore it is extremely rare !
The red edging , silver color buttons and silver base shoulder straps are typical signs for the uniforms of general staff only or engineer troops. As we have a rank of general-major - gold color rhombs it is more likely that officer was commander of the general staff. Shoulder boards are bigger than the WWII period models, and just a bit smaller than the WWI shoulder pieces.
