Hello

The "problem" here is that this is a training and replacement unit - Grenadier-Ersatz und Ausbildungs Bataillon 397. Your relative did his basic training within this unit and was then transferred to one of the many units for which the battalion "delivered" replacements. None of the mainly supplied units served in Italy. So it is not possible to tell in which unit he served in with this information.
