In the East May 26th 1944
Dear Parents.
Greetings here from the East. Today we have reached our destination and we got into a terrible downpour, we are in a city bit I don’t know the name of it. I hope you had the cards I mailed from transit. I would never have thought that I would land in Russia too. But we can not do anything about it. I am writing the letter by candle light.
I am well, and hope you too,
Greetings and hope to see you again.
Your Werner
Greetings to all,
We have not an address yet.
Letter is from Werner Ketschau on a train to the front
