Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1945-03-04) letter no. Blank (1945-03-12) envelope: front back card - front card - back card - back text blankenburg, march 12, 1945 my beloved mum! you will be very surprised by my pencil letter, yes, but there is no other way. My fountain pen was stolen, it's enough to make you scream, and no ink or holder can be found at the moment. But my warmest greetings will reach you anyway. Yes, now i want to tell you the latest news after the trip, there is quite a lot that i have been back home in mecklenburg with my friend theo, you know, i hope this mail has arrived by now? the reason i'm going is because the commander needs two men to berlin, he can't send just anyone. So we drove, well, neustrelitz-dolgan is only an hour away from berlin by express train. So it's obvious that we always make a detour there. I would rather come home to our beloved vienna and to you, but there are no trips down there at the moment. Now we've had some lovely days, i ate a big meal again, everything your heart desires, oh if only i could give you a piece of it. Otherwise we just did what we enjoyed. We also broke in young 2-year-old remounts, that was fun. It was all very nice. Date: 12 March 1945.
