The arm band is, I think, a NSDAP Leader Armband [political] ... sure didn’t see a lot of them in the history books with the center oak leaf stripe.

The one in the pic is even more detailed as it looks like the center of the swastika is colored differently, haven’t figured out what it means.

If it is him, the flash must have really lit up the exposure as what should be an Iron cross medal looks washed out. It’s shaped right, but the black that should be in the middle isn’t there, though it’s possible that the black is enamel and glossy and just happened to flash. There are three medals in the right place low down on his side.
Two rows of ribbons.
Collar tab looks like oak leaf strip with a little curve to it Goering has the same tab in one of his pics, but I don’t recall if Hitler ever wore tabs on his collar, my impression is that he usually didn’t.

There’s enough detail there someone in the know should be able to confirm who it isn’t, if not who it is.
