O.U. Dec 20th 1943
Dear Parents!
It has been days since the last mail from you and I am still waiting to hear from you. What is going on? I hope that all is well at home same as here with me. Why don’t you write to me anymore? That has never happened before. On Friday I talk to the Company Commander and he told me that the company will be transferred so I wont be together with my old Comrades any more. As of Midnight last night, there is a furlough
restriction in place. Let us hope it wont last that long. Our Company will be send off without an inspection and that will be done a few days later. Let us just hope that the war will be over soon and we all can get home in good health. So here all is the same, the weather is fair, how is the field work going on at home?
I will close now and lets hope to see each other soon.
Your beloved Werner.
