Dear Parents.
Greetings from here, hope all is well at home same as here. Thank you for the letter # 15 and the 3 parcels with sausages. You forgot to number the parcels, but I had 3 of the 2 Ib parcels so far. Do you know where I am now.? Yes we have heard about the heavy Bombing of Kassel, it must have been a terrible raid. Here the planes come every day and so low we can see the pilots. They already were here today. Did you get the Parcel stamps? I made a mistake and put all 4 in one letter. I will close now and hope for a reunion.
Your Werner Letter was a fast one , I have not much time. Had a letter from Gerhard, they fighting Partisans now near Witebsk.
