Mius Front Aug 7th 1943
Dear Parents and Grand Dad!
Yesterday I got 4 parcels with food and another large parcel came today. Thank you very much, Mother has done a good job once again for me, . Please do not worry so much about me, I am right now far from the shooting front. Of course, as the radio says, the Russians attacking day and night and our Gunners are very busy but I am with the supply right now and 15 Kilometers from the front. But we don’t have an easy life either, they try and try to turn our “Asses’ round and round. But as long as I got something to eat, I am not particular worried I just wished it would stay quiet here Please send me the first page of your Newspaper so I know what happens on other fronts. Send me some shorts , I was the horses each day in the Mius River, and my other shorts are torn. Also a pair of long jons as well.
With Greetings Heinrich.
