Help Please - WP / SB Entries

[soldon]

Hello All,
I'm researching a wehrpass / soldbuch of a swiss guy serving as a medic in the Luftwaffe, attached to Army Group Middle 1941 / 45 I've come across a couple of entries which have left me baffled - securing " Weissruthenien " -where's is it, also a unit entry - Kolonnen = Abschnitt = Kommandent - what was it, finally there are number of entries - 60 days " Feindeinwirkung" not sure what it means - literally "Enemy influence" or under "Enemy fire" have asked to locals but I get a different answer every time. Any help would be appreciated

Weißruthenien = Belorussia = White Russia = Belarus
Kolonnen = columns (as in vehicle columns or convoys, supply columns, etc.)
Abschnitt = sector
Kommandant = commandant (commander)
Feindeinwirkung = enemy action
