This is a pic of my great great great grandpa. Im pretty sure he's German, but he may be Prussain (I'm not really sure what Prussia is) pretty sure this pic is late 1800's. Tell me what you know from his uniform.

You seem to be right on the money - Prussian indeed!

He appears to be sporting both the Duppel Storm cross and the Alsen cross - decorations of the Second Schleswig War against the Danish (1864).

What he also appears to have is the War Commemorative Medal of 1870/71, but I'm struggling to identify the rest, this really is not my period of expertise.

Judging by the epaulettes he was an officer, though I am unable to tell what kind, as the picture is a bit blurry, and served both in the Second Schleswig war and the Franco-Prussian war.

Prussia was one of many states that eventually united to become "Germany" (Prussia itself was the most powerful, and led the unification)

As >>2167352 has pointed out, he actually fought in the wars that led to German unification

Nah. He is a reasonably handsome man, able to sport a bitching beard whilst not having any wrinkles yet. So good genetics there, OP.
