Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1943-09-23) letter date (1943-09-28) next letter (1943-10-03) [yes, we say] the way home is via the red cross. Which wonderland married fritzi? i want to tell you about myself. I met up with my old unit again. We had heavy fighting with tanks, etc. And i was awarded the iron cross. We then withdrew to the desna, where i was part of the security force. It was pretty dangerous but i got out. I got diarrhea and was sent to the baggage train for a few days. Then i got the order to disembark, so i had to go back. And so it goes on again, marching, marching westwards. It's a strange feeling to leave the country again [where so many comrades have stayed]. Date: 28 September 1943.
