GermanSoldier173 has empty ID (black area). ID is stored in SWD after 0x3D bytes (yellow area) after the entity name (green area).
You can create ID yourself. Just fill black area with 4-bytes ID in reverse form.
For example, 'S173' should be saved as '371S'. After that you can use this ID in lua: Level.FindActor('S173').
ID should be unique.
