Hi Vincent, I concur with Leigh that his rank is Unteroffizier.
your man appears to be wearing a flying blouse that has one row of hidden buttons down the center front, unfortunately he has his arms in the way to see if there are lower side pockets, which were introduced on the 2nd December 1940 (Order #1509).
However, the lack of a Luftwaffe eagle on the right breast, suggests the photo was taken pre 1940, as the wearing of one on the flying blouse worn by NCOs and ORs, was only introduced on the 14th October 1940 (Order #1290).
