Dear Parents and Grand dad !
I am almost back with my old Regt and two days ago I ended up here in Taganrog . Today our Company had to assemble in clean uniforms , Our General Recknagel greeted us old Soldiers and he talked at length with us. He told us that Taganrog is a quiet place , a town where even the trams are still running and the Asow Sea is not far, I already had a swim there. My address is my old FP # but do not write just yet. I don’t know when I get back to the Regt that is 15 Kilometers from here. So please wait, I am very well, I had no mail yet but don’t worry, . Because the General visit us today, he brought a few beers for each of us and wine for a reunion in the mess hall tonight. But there is noting to buy here, We had already been on the way to Charkov on the way to a new unit when General Recknagel ordered us back to Taganrog via a radio message.
1 will close now and I write more next time.
Greetings Heinrich
