SS-Ostuf. Hugo Smits, "Wiking"

[Georg_S]

I noticed that every officerlist of the 5.SS-Pz.Div "Wiking" is missing a name. I came across his name when I searched the DRK Vermisstelisten. What I can out of it is following

SS-Obersturmführer
Hugo Smits (No photo of him)
Born - 04.02.1918 in den Niederlanden (Holland)
Occupation - Jurist
MIA - 03.45 (last known place of him) Berlin
Attached to the 7./SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt. 10 "Westland"

Anyone who knows who this Hugo Smits is?

Can't read handwritten Dutch. Does it say here he died on 17th of March 1945 in Altdamm?
Must be the same person, but born on 4th of Feb in Batavia, Indonesia.

Earlier in this section of the Forum we had this:
Smits, Hugo SS-Ostuf., SS-Nr. 455.635 34. SS-Frw.-Gren.Div.

Thanks for this. The date can be backdated if he later become declared dead by a court as many become in the 50´s

Best regards
