Recently my Uncle here in Ireland bought this small painting for €3 in a junk sale.

He failed to notice the unusual stamp on the back.
I promised him that I would do my best to find out more about the stamp and somehow maybe find out some info on the artist. I'm curious to find out what the back story to this painting might be. The subject matter looks like a landscape somewhere in the Alps so I would assume that this painting was not stolen and then stamped by the SS. Was the artist (B.walk?) in the SS?
I've tried to look for info on the stamp myself but I was unable to find any matches to it probably because I was looking for combinations of SS-Flak battalions which it seems there were none although i'm probably wrong!
Any insight on the stamp and the artist would be most appreciated, thanks for your time :)
