Eastern Front Sept 30 1942

Dear Parents and Grand Dad !

Recently I got your letters from Sept 10™ and 13th and I can read that all is well and I am well too, we are now really deep into the Mountains . I can not describe what it means to fight here and how much it involves . On top of it there is not much water for us or the horses, not much fodder either. I am still waiting for the watch , still the same old tune from here so I send Greetings from far away.

Your Heinrich.
