Can anyone here read European handwriting?

[bleedingheart]

I am looking at my grandfather's military pass from the Austro-Hungarian army and while the script is beautiful...egads...I can't read it... I was hoping to get it and his passport translated but I can't even make out the words/letters because of the writing style.

1. It is hard, but I can try.

German handwriting before the war was called Suetterlin script.
Here is a guide.
