I also do not know much about the Wehrpass, but I can help a bit with German words:

Bode, Herbert Johannes

born April 4th 1920

in Moers, County of Düsseldorf

Dtsch. Reich (Nationality)

kath(olisch)

ledig (not married)

Schüler (schoolboy), later Student (profession)

father: Karl Bode, Malermeister (painter)

mother: Elisabeth Bode, born as Kaufmanns

Johannes

[Johannes Schoen]

Sorry, I had the wrong name in my mind while writing the reply. The mother was baptized as Hauptmanns and not Kaufmanns.

all the best Merdock

units

Again, I can read the handwriting, but know nothing about the history of the units and sometimes can only guess the meaning of the shortcuts:

1. A.N.R. 563 (Abteilung Nachrichten Regiment ?)
5./Nachr(ichten) Ers(atz) Abt(eilung) 6

6./Nachr(ichten) Ers(atz) Abt(eilung) 6
I./A.N.R. 563

Zwischenzeit siehe Seite 46 (for in between see page 46)

Nachr(ichten) Ers(atz) Abt(eilung) 2 (three times)

NEW PAGE

I./H. (Heeres ?) Gru. (Grund ?/ground) Nachr(ichten) Rgt. (Regiment) 639/2. Kp (Kompanie)

7. Kompanie (belongs to stamp beforehand)

40. Fspr (Fernsprech) Betr. (Betriebs) Kp. (Kompanie) (bodstg.) (bodenständig/on ground) 644
unterstellt (detachted to) I./H.N.R. 639

Unterstellungsverhätnis zu I./H.N.R. 639
mit Wirkung v(om) 30.10.44 aufgehoben (detachment to ends at)

11./H. (Heeres ?) Gr. (Grund ?) Nachr(ichten) Rgt. (Regiment) 607

hope this helps a bit

Just a slight ammendment to Johannes...

A.N.R. actually means Armee Nachrichten Regiment and H.Gru.Nachr.Rgt. means Heeres Gruppen Nachrichten Regiment or Army Group Signals Regiment....

Do you have their employment on pages 32 or are you looking for where they were employed?

The EK II document appears to be signed by General der Infanterie Hans-Wolfgang Reinhard...however he was CO of LI Armee Korps....!?!? However LI AK was under AOK 2 at that time......

Regards, Ian

H.Gr.Nachr.Rgt. 607 was part of Heeresgr. H in the west....not sure but Ardennes offensive?
