In the Field January 27th 1944
Dear All at home.
Tonight I will do my duty and write to you again. I wrote a letter a few days ago but as usual, the mail traffic in winter is all mixed up again . I am well and hope you too. I have now spend many a day in this “ Promised Land” and still there is no end in sight of the war. Who knows whether we will go against England. I just been reading the newspaper article about about the revenge weapons , an rather unbelievable story is told there and we suppose to believe all that. The article is just a pill yo calm the nerves down of the folks. The people have nothing to believe in so that’s why it is published. We know, that this year we either win the war or we lose it. I just wonder what “ Adolf” has to say in his speech on January the 30th.
Right now we have muddy weather, it rains without let up. Lucky I have a dry place to sit in and even have electric light to write. I also hammered a bed together and for a mattress I got a Car seat and 4 blankets But Home, your stars are shining for me, that is what the radio just played.
Greetings Heinrich.
