In the East! Oct 4th 43
Dear Parents and Grand Dad !
It is Sunday and time for a short letter , Thank you for the
addressed envelopes I will use now. Today is my 3 years
anniversary to ne in the Army I am now into the 4th year, who would have thought that in 1940 I am sure it will be more time before we come all home. The main thing is, that the result of the war is to our satisfaction. We should never have marched with the Italians they have only hindered our cause they a gang of traitors , here in Russia too. But they will get their reward you just wait until after the war. Yesterdayyou said you had another letter from me, and this one will come even faster as I give that to a Comrade going on furlough to mail it for me. We are having a rest ina Kolchos Farm, bed is there too, how is work at home, busy with Beets, Potatoes and Fruit? I have not plought for a long time now, Horses we have none I can count on furlough next spring the front is holding again, and we digging deep anti tank ditches now. Lets hope we can stay a while here
Heartfelt Greetings Heinrich.
