Help reading a Wehrpass - Albert Stumpf

[Milspec]

I recently received a Wehrpass and CZ-27 pistol from the family of a local WWII US Army veteran and would appreciate assistance in translating it. I believe the soldier's name is Albert Stumpf. Thanks in advance.

Wehrpass - Albert Stumpf

[Hank C.]

He was awarded the Black & Silver Wound badges, and the Iron Cross 2nd class.

Looks like he was wounded 4 times. Shot through the upper calf; Grenade shrapnel back of the head; grazed by a bullet right underarm; then grenade shrapnel again, this time to the chest and back.

One promotion, to Gefreiten.

Trained on a variety of weapons, including the Gewehr 98 rifle, Light Machine Gun 34, Hand grenades, and the 08 Pistol.

Joined the wehrmacht in mid April 1942 - more or less conscripted.

Born in 1923, Catholic, single.

That's a quick glimpse.
