Who did the owl get the Attack Titan from?

Two years later Kruger inherited the Attack Titan from an unknown predecessor, gaining the Power of the Titans. Grisha remembered Kruger from that day Kruger was present when Grisha was tortured by the Marley Public Security. He asked if he confessed to the Owl's identity, and Grisha assured he did not know.

Why does Eren use the name Kruger?

Kruger had Eren's memories, who would inherit his power in two generations. Some guess that Falco displayed the same “future memories” in Season 4 Episode 1. All of this makes it very fitting and symbolic that Eren, while undercover, is referring to himself as Kruger.
