The easiest and shortest first:
page 26:
„Lieutenant Bode war vom 3. 12. 1941 bis zum 15. 3. 1942 zum Studium nach Aachen beurlaubt“. (on leave for studies in Aachen; maybe there was a Nachrichtenschule?).
BTW, it is not too difficult to learn the German handwriting. There even exist computer-fonts of Sütterlin and other german scripts. And it is fun (not always) to decipher the old handwriting.

That’s it. I am not very familiar with cities and Rivers in Russia, so You better check them. But I am now quite familiar with Your Wehrpass Merdock. So if You want to part with it some day, it would be nice to receive a message from You
