Looking for information about Paulus Wilhelmus Rutgers

Hi,

I'm looking for any information regarding Paulus Wilhelmus Rutgers, born 7-12-1920 Arnhem, the Netherlands.

He served in 2. Westland regiment under 5. SS-Wiking from 1940-1941 where he was shot in Uman, Ukraine.
After recovering from his wounds he was sent back to the Netherlands and probably stationed in Amersfoort, but I am not sure about that.
In 1944 he was arrested by the Dutch police for a murder in Hilversum, the Sicherheitsdienst released him back to Germany where he was again pressed into service, from there it is unknown what exactly happened.

Thanks in advance
