Eastern Front July 23rd 1942

Dear Parents and Grand dad

Quick a short greeting I am well, it is very hot and we are still pursue the enemy southward and another 100 Kilometers, we should be at the Asowshe Sea and every Division here is poised to march towards the Caucasus Oil fields. The enemy has to put up a stand on a defensive line somewhere to spend his last strength. We are near the Asowshe Sea my Butter and Sausage have gone bad in this heat, please send only salted fat or small sealed cans. Lets hope things go fast soon

Greetings Heinrich
