Dear Parents and Werner!
I have a bit of time today to write you a card. Greetings from here and I am ok apart from a slight cold. Day before yesterday we swept s forest for Partisans but we did not find any. All went well. We are now together with Panzers a few Kilometers from our Bunkers. Our hope is, that in a few weeks we will get out of here ,
Lets hope we are that lucky. How is things at home, are the fields all done ? The snow is going but has turned into water and mud. Did you get my last cards I wrote? Getting mail from you might still will take a few weeks. So I am sending Greetings to you all.
Your Artur,
