Eastern Front May 6th 1942
Dear Parents and Grand Dad !
Yesterday I got the letter from the 21° of March so I will write today again. I am glad to hear that all is well at home and and the same goes for me. Live is much better this month already, first the days are already warm, and 2™, we don’t have to sit in the dark so long in the evenings. All your parcels seem to rool in regular. Here the front is holding and the Russian will not break through, but we often just wish that the war is coming to an end . We are in a big City here and a large Transport of Russian Girls taken to “Germanski” as they say to work there. Just in case they send one to you for \help, I enclose a small dictionary in Russo-German. I am glad that you got the white horse from the Neighbor, Please send me some boot polish, sand paper and a few boxes of
matches. I have started to smoke very heavy here, and can not live without Cigarettes or Cigars. But we do get enough here , well that is all for now.
