Basically this Dienstausweis authorized the holder access to buildings and grounds of the OKW. The top entry on the back assigns him to Gen = genesungs or convalescence company of Nachr = Nachrichten or signal unit, Aufkl. = aufklarungs or observer, Süd or south. What ever that unit was. The bottom means he was issued 40 RM discharge payment.

Thank you
So am I correct that this guy was discharged but then continued some tasks and this pass allowed him into the building
Also would this be classed as a civil document
Yes, as either military or civilians worked at the Headquarters.
....edit...
Is there a value to such a document ?
Yes, as there's value to most any document. I wouldn't plan my retirement on it though. Depending on what else you can find out about him and/or his role there.
best

Unless it was nighttime, or the weather was bad, and you were running out of gas - then it was a sweaty nightmare, like a monkey f*ing a skunk.
