Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1943-12-13) letter no. 216 (1943-12-19) next letter (1943-12-24) christmas card - front christmas card - back christmas card - back - rotated text [especially now when the] most beautiful holidays of the year are approaching. It would be wonderful if i could be with you on christmas eve! unfortunately it's impossible but we don't want to be sad about it, quite the opposite. On this evening when we both stand under the christmas tree we think about how santa claus brought us great joy and a lovely present this year. Dear mum, please make yourself a tree too, i'd like this and save it for when i get home maybe later, then we'll both celebrate this lovely holiday in silence, right? to wish you a "merry" christmas today is an exaggeration. I wish you all the best for the [holidays that you can only wish for the people you love most on earth!]. Date: 19 December 1943.
