Brunswick April 12th 1944
Dear All Beloved at Home!
I am back in the same camp that I was in last year in spring . When I got here, the first thing I did sat in a shelter for 3 hours in an Alert. Many of the houses I use to know are in ruins now, gone, pulverized by the Bombing. But the biggest destruction is along the Rail Road Lines, from Hildesheim to Brunswick . I is pouring down with rain today. Lets hope that you can soon sow the oats , don’t count on me to help just yet. According to my Comrades, I can expect 2 weeks furlough here . So tonight I am back laying on the straw sack and think of days gone by.
Greetings Heinrich
