Thanks
The handwriting is to close together for me to read, can someone translate the battle entries?

Hi Graeme!
The scan is very blurry so that I am only able to read the first entry. It says "Einsatz Österreich" or deployment to Austria. The owner of the Wehrpass apparently took part in the annexation of Austria in 1938.
Could you provide us with a better scan, if possible? Then we would be able to read the other entries.
All the best,

Ooops!! I just noticed that it wasn't your fault Graeme, but the fault of my internet browser...
He didn't show the image correctly when I first loaded the page, but now the image is sharp! 
I apologize for that!
