Pictured in this video is
Freiherr Hasso Eccard von Manteuffel (wiki)


“Manteuffel was appointed commander of the Grossdeutschland Division on 1 February 1944. The division engaged the Red Army west of Kirovograd, then retreated across Ukraine. In late July Großdeutschland was ordered to East Prussia, following the collapse of Army Group Centre in Soviet Operation Bagration. The division failed to break through to the Army Group North in the Courland Pocket.”
Maybe around Karachev-Briansk July 1944

These Heer troops don’t have the GD cuff title but that’s not definitive.
