Hi Nick,
Unfortunately I have not found out any more about the man, I hope to have a friend come up with something as he's more into ss units etc but I have drawn a blank. Other than they are super rare I am still looking for more info if its out there.
All the best,
D.

The sender, can't make out his name, was stationed im Prag-Rusin at the
Heinrich-Himmler-Kaserne das 2.SS-Pz.Gren.Ausb.u.Ers.Btl. (ehem.SS-Inf.Ers.Btl.
Deutschland).
The last Commander was SS-Sturmbannführer Öttinger.
In may 1945, the Batallion was surrounded by the 3. Regiment of
Wlassow-Troops led by Oberstleutnant Aleksandroff.
A partial breakout led by Öttinger followed, but many were captured and
executed by Russian and Wlassow-Troops. Of the remaining soldiers,
many were slaughtered by the Wlassow-Troops and Czech Partisan units.
Not many from the 2.SS-Pz.Gren.Ausb.u.Ers.Btl survived.
