Eastern Front June 29th 1942

Dear Parents and Grand Dad !

Today is Sunday once again and will put pen to paper and Mother always writes a long letter too on Sundays. She tells about all the work that was done. It is very warm today and I had a cool bath. Right now we have work like we had in Camp back in Germany. I am ok , as my horses are in a private stable now, , if only we know the exact hour when this war will be over . All Miners in our Company were released from Service yesterday and send back home to their jobs. I am well, I am glad that you got some

chickens now and I am also releaved that there is not so much Bomb Damage than in Bückeburg. Just now a Comrade comes in with a pot of honey that we will eat. We swap some for Cigarettes. Heartfelt Greetings, Heinrich .
