Grandfather 1942

My father. Trained as an expert Rifleman, worked as a Mess Cook with the 70th Infantry Div, 725th Field Artillery Battalion (Trailblazers).  This photo was taken in either France or Germany in 1945 (Itinerary for 725th is on Trailblazersww2.org).  Would love to know the exact location of this photo.
