Eastern Front Aug 12th 1942 Dear Parents and Grand dad !
I had no mail from you for a long time and that is why I did not write either. I just had not the time to write. All night and mornings we are on the advance . I suppose you are busy in the harvest time now, and we are in the heat of the march, dirty and dusty, and we are now far, far to the south. We have crossed the Don River and are near the Caucasus . Anyone not familiar with Russia can not imagine the distances , the worst for me is that I am not very good on my feet. Otherwise I am well,
Greetings Heinrich.
