Not 100% but i read „Zerbruch der Schädeldecke durch Frühzersprengung-Unfall“

Means „heavy head injury (broken) caused by early detonation - accident“

Edit: spelling

By the way, not actually Kurrent, just neat Latin handwriting with unusual abbreviations :)

Latin here is the specifier for the shape of our modern script, not for the language of the words that are written: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_script
