I picked this up last week but am having a hard time figuring if he was a crew member on a gun or a driver for Ammo etc. I speak German nad can read Sutterlin but am not familar with the acrynoms and such. I would appreciate some help if possible. So he was a Civilian truck driver in Hannover. . .

Seems he was both qualified for driving and administrative (Tesha-Schreiber??, Rechnungsführer) functions.
The Lazarett where he died from his wounds was Stadtheide, near Tilsit. Was Germany back then, but now Russia. LinkComment

Thanks for the responses. He must have been doing several different things. I suspected he probably was not on a gun crew. Still a nice wehrpass I think to a rarer unit/branch. It was sold as "Wehrpass for an Infantry Mortarman"
