Italy Nov 15th 1944
Dear Comrade Heinz !
I had not heard from you for a long time and as you can see, I am in Italy now near Droino and right now things are quiet here , but it can change from one day to the next. I will not forget the days we had together in Russia . To myself, I was in hospital in Brünn 4 months with a wound on my left arm , a 10 cm gash from a shrapnel but the healing went well and I am back in service again. Let me know where you are I am with a Panzer Abteilung now driving a armored car
Greetings from your old Comrade Kurt.
