In the Field Nov 4th 1943
Dear Parents at home!
I wrote the day before yesterday and again today. Just to let you know that I am well, it is possible that some letters never reach you and it is 2 weekes hence since I wrote the last time During the last Battle, our Ammunition column got separated from the rest of the Regiment because of a sudden retreat so now we are on the search for our Division, some guy told us it has moved 70
Kilometers back. The Russian Panzers and their Cavallery have been chasing us we already have now retreated 1000 Kilometers. We have to make a stop soon and tell the Bolchivicks who are Masters on the Battlefield It has cost the Russians also a lot to advance that distance more than us in fact. I wonder when I get back to my Battery and on the whole, I have experienced the most unbelievable things here. I am sure this is not the last one by any means. What is the news from home? So I send you Greetings.
Your Heinrich.
