In the Field Nov 9th 1943
Dear Beloved All !
Not much time to write as I only want to tell you that I am well and I give this letter to a Comrade going on furlough to mail it. I am very tired, we are bringing Ammunition to the front day and night and I got a wagen with 3 Panje horses abreast pulling it. These small fast horses saved my life on October 27th with my Rifle when I killed Cossacl Lt and a another Cossack Horseman. My Comrades admire me about it, and I am in a good company here. There are still 5 of our Divisions east of the Dnjper River, and we building a defense line. From here we will advance once again . What did the Führer say on the Radio, we don’t hear anything , today I got 2 letters but no parcel will be delivered for now.
So all the very best for now
Your Heinrich
