Rothenburg Jan 10 1943

Dear All back home !

It is Sunday morning and I had been to the Potato peeling detail in the kitchen. We made a big cauldron full, so we should have enough for us all. Pity we did not had the same opportunity in Russia very often. I have recovered already a lot and can

horseplay with my other Comrades. That is the time that I get out of here and this probably will be next week or the week after. I have to have a talk with my Doctor about some things . The Winter has arrived here too, and it seems you have plenty of indoor work back home. Yesterday I helped to rollup a thousand washed bandages .I don’t know what to write about, its so uninteresting, yesterday I got another parcel and suspicious eyes were ogling me . Thanking you very much Mother and so I will close

Your Heinrich
