Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1943-04-16) letter no. 159 (1943-04-17) next letter (1943-04-21) [i also have 17 men to feed, which means i have to receive provisions from the battalion and then divide them up so that i don't miss out, you can vividly imagine! the sergeant is a great guy, i get on very well with him! i can now eat my fill again and, above all, i have enough bread. During the day i do paperwork and at night i can sleep through the night. It's nice back here, no shots are fired and the artillery doesn't shoot so far. In the morning a russian boy polishes my boots and the "matka" washes everything, so you see, i've been lucky again, i don't know how long i'll be staying here. I am still healthy and there is no reason to worry. How are you? are you healthy? today at 8 p. M. I will be receiving another letter, perhaps i have something. Mom, please write to me exactly how much support you are getting for me, is it just 80. 90 rm? i am also going to be promoted soon and i will get 75. 00 rm a month, but the 80. 90 rm would be gone! i would be better off staying at 80. 90 and doing without the 75. 00 rm. It is 5. 90 rm more! so please write exactly! my dear mom, all the best, warm greetings and kisses from your hansl. Date: 17 April 1943.
