Russia March 21* 1942
Dear Parents and Grand Dad !
Today it supposed to be beginning of spring according to the calendar, but not here, we had a new lot of snow and a cold spell again. Russia is just Russia, no matter that on lattitude, we are equal with northern Italy. I had plenty of mail a few days ago, and thank you very much. I suppose you will be busy on the farm now. I would love to be home and help well, maybe next year. I don’t think the Army let me go after 2 years service. There is not much news from Here there and then I take a sledge to the rail yard and fetch our supplies. Here in our part of the front it seems to be quiet, but on the day after Christmas, the Russians attacked and the result was a mountain of deaths for them. There are battles going on at the northern and central front too, lets hope the Russian will get the final beating. Today I mailed 100 Marks send me a fountain pen please sothat is all again.
Greetings Your Heinrich.
