Recent Translation Trend

Wanted to take the opportunity of the recent document translation done on here. Having some trouble since its cursive. Ive used Google lens in the past and is very helpful.
From what I can tell this is discharge docs for a Pioneer stating his service time and his hometown as well as other information. Was wondering if he was injured or what exactly kind of service record it says becasue it seemed he only served for about a year. Also couldn't find much info on that unit and there service history, just an older book about Pioneer and there role, all in German though. Thanks

It is an end of service document, made up by the administration of a discharge office of a Pionier "Ersatz" unit, a training and replacement unit that deals with this kind of administration.
He leaves the military after serving two short terms, why he is discharged I don't know, it isn't mentioned, it can be anything: usually it is a medical reason, or the fact that he might have a job that is essential for the war effort, coal miner for example.
Because he served two short terms that amount to less then six months of service, I seriously doubt that he has been on the front and I'am pretty sure we can exclude that he was discharged because of a combat related injury.
That being said, what I haven't seen before is that he is denied the 50 Reichs Mark end of service bonus because he hasn't given back his uniform.
You'll not find much more information about him with only this discharge document.
