Translate document from German (I think)

[goldcoast]

I have a documents relating to Michael Cap, a displaced Polish person seeking to move to Australia post World War II. He ended up in Linz at the end of the war and his past ten years employment is in script on one of the documents and I cannot understand the words.
Any help with translating would be greatly appreciated.

It is German.

The 1942 item says “schuler zu hause b. eltern” which translates as schooled at home by his parents.
1945 is "Landarbeiter" which means he was a labourer on the land. So a farm worker.
1946 is "Koch" which is a cook.
1946 “Arbeitlos” – Unemployed
1946 – heute (today) "Magasineur". So that’s some sort of work for the US Army. Not quite sure what it was. "Magazin" is store-house, so I'd guess he worked in a storehouse.

Thank you so much Elwyn. Can you 9or anyone else) tell me what is written in the last three columns? I can see Smolnik as the first one under Town, province and country but that is all I can understand.

Thank you again

Cheers

Thank you Rudolf, very much appreciated.

There is also another section of the document (well there are a few but I don't want to impose) regarding his documents which I cannot understand. I have tried typing the words into a translator but I don't even think I can identify the letters properly.

The first line seems to say Keine Dokumente so presumably "no papers" and mentions the same place in Germany as before which reads Frankenfeld.

Further on the mystery place in Austria appears again and this seems to be "Galspach" as on wikipedia there is a place "Gallspach" in Austria, near Linz which is also mentioned on the last line. 

As to why Germany is written each time as "Deutschland" but Austria each time as "Austria" I can't guess.

[Rudolf H B]

Thank you JohninSussex,

here are the places:

- Frankenfeld, part of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudenbach (see German version) in Franconia (liberated in April 1945, like Frankenfeld in Lower Saxony, but this was liberated by British troops.)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzburg
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmunden
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallspach
- Hörsching, airfield or DP camp, see above

Documents:
- 1937... No documents, they got lost (verloren)
- 1942... ID card F 13396 as worker, issued in Berlin
- Feb. 1946 confirmation as cook since 15th April 1945, Army Post Office (?) 411 or 4II
- Dec. 1946 confirmed by US Quarter Master in Linz, Austria

Regards
Rudolf

NB: Austria is much easier to write than Österreich and the 2nd republic of 1945 had been quite new, after beeing a part of the IIIrd Reich.
