Marcus,
The date is 02 Feb 1945. That's the easy part. Spelling is difficult and depends on the source. I have Escher

Re: SS-Obersturmbannführer Walter Eccer vel Echo
I recently went to the US NARA and could not find a personal file at Walter Eccer. I just found a certain Walter Escher (SS-Nr. 257 770) whose last promotion was SS-Hauptsturmführer but dating back to 30 January 1942 ! He was serving within the SS-Personalhauptamt. So who is this Walter Eccer vel Echo ? Many sources cite him as commander of SS-Freiw.Gren.Rgt.86 but no official archive can confirm this ...

Thanks a lot ! That is why there is no personal file with his name in College Park. Do you have the date of his transfer to the Waffen-SS ?

Hello,
I saw the signature of ECCHER on a document and the Memorial confirms the correct writing of the name.
