Its written by a junior SS officer working in the Bauleitung der Waffen SS und Polizei Danzig during 1941/42 and he reports to Hauptamt Haushalt und Bauten Amt II B1 in Berlin

thank you for any help

Compare with the file attached, testing "Gliob", "Grob" and "Grab".
My suggestion would be "Grab".

I dont think the name is Grab. The last 3 letters seem to be "iob", there is a dot over the i which is clear to be seen. Could the first letter be A. A??liob

I am sure the first letter is a "G" or a "Q".

Stuart:

How about Heinz Hiob, geb.10.08.1912 in Stettin, who was later an SS-Ostuf. in SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltung-Hauptamt.

Yes, something like that I was considerig too. The First letter then Is a double "H" then ( signature is then HHiob), because starting from the second letter which is cramped together withthe rest, it is visible that " Hiob" is possible (therefore I had stretched it a little in the graphic).
