Eastern Front July 11th 1942
Dear All at Home !
Quick a few words for now, I wont have the time to write the next few days. We were ordered up to the front line tonight so it wont be long and the fire storm will start again. In a few other places the advance is rolling again. We have to march in a different direction today because Italian troops take over the line here. They have only to hold the front , that is all for them, I hope that with the help of God, everything will be ok Dear Parents and Grand dad, please do pray for me, your prayers are the explanation that I am still alive and got away with a shock from the last Battle I am well and hope you too. Maybe we soon can turn our backs on the Russian Paradise , for now my best Greetings
Heinrich.
