Assuming this SS-Junker completed Junkerschule and was commissioned, it's probably the later SS-Sturmbannfuhrer d. R. and Knight's Cross recipient Alfred Fischer (I don't know- and his SS file doesn't mention- if his middle name was Richard).

According to John Moore's "Fuhrerliste der Waffen-SS" CD-Rom, their were only two commissioned officers in the Waffen-SS named Alfred Fischer. The one mentioned above and another, born 09.03.1911 in Vienna (that one was assigned as an SS-Obersturmfuhrer to SS-Kraftfahr-Ausbildungs- und Ersatz Regiment as of November 1944; he was an SS-Untersturmfuhrer with 13.Waffen-Gebirgs-Division der SS "Handschar" (kroatische Nr. 1) as of June 1944). Here is some basic data on SS-Stubaf. d. R. Alfred Fischer:
