Ah! So your naughty overaged Czech's PAPERWORK was still at Sachsenhausen when the New Owners arrived... even if HE had scarpered as most of the guards did.
Wehrpass stayed at the duty station, not on his person, so the Commissars

must have snapped this up for the NKVD to deal with.
From these entries, after he volunteered for the Waffen SS and was assigned to the camp staff, he never left.Comment

BTW, per French MacLean's "The Camp Men," Hauptsturmführer Holzmann (attested promotions) served at Sachsenhausen 1939-45--
Georg, born 7 May 1887 Diesneck, Protestant, married, veteran of WW1 (EK2, Wound Badge), joined NSDAP 1929 (#130,624) and SS # 7,661.
Sachsenhausen was used by the Soviets for high ranking German prisoners awaiting shipment back to the Soviet Union for trial in the winter of 1945-46.Comment

The three-letter handwritten word that you haven't unscrambled is a Russian abbreviation for his surname, phonetically approximately equal to "Eich" (but leaving out the "-ler").
This was probably added by the Russians for administrative or sorting purposes when they had the paperwork, but might not have had the former owner (yet).
It would be interesting to know what became of him and why he volunteered for the Waffen-SS. Bet he didn't realise what he was getting into. Perhaps a case of the old "wrong time at the wrong place".
