Wound translation please.

[Jonathan M]

I can make out ( i think!) the following

'schultarbruf' in the first line. Can someone please correct me if im wrong and assist in translating the rest.

Many thanks
Jonathan

It says

Schulterbruch- shoulder fracture
Schultergelenkzer-
trümmerung.......that should be sth like a smashed shoulder joint

Am i correct in assuming that the flak batterie he was assigned to was deployed in Luftgau IX?
Cheers

Thanks Winston

As a long shot, does anyone have any resource where i can start looking for the dates of air raids on Hannover to see if this guy was victim of an air raid? According to the WP he died the following day after the above entry. The gefallen entry is crossed out and gertboten (sp) has been written above. It seems to me that the clerk has made a distinction between killed in action and died. Then again it could be an accident as well but its an avenue id like to explore.

The text of the stamp:

The missing word could be "Gefechtstätigkeit" (?)

(L 52791) schw.Flak-Battr. z.b.V. 5925 was attached to schw.Flak-Abt. 801(v) (Flakuntergruppe Hannover-Ost) on 20.6.44. On that date, 169 B-24 Liberators from the 3d Bombardment Division in England bombed oil targets at Hannover-Misburg, which lies 7.8 km due east of Hannover-Stadtmitte (city centre). Only one B-24 was lost over the target.
