Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1943-02-22) letter no. 137 (1943-02-24) next letter (1943-02-25) [the russians are] still calm. As i wrote yesterday, the weather is different, sometimes cold, sometimes warm. The "dear little lice" have loyally and obediently returned; when i've finished writing this letter the cracking will start. Yes, that's how we spend our days here, one like the other. And dear mama, we should still be happy that there is such a quiet front here; just imagine the poor guys in the south [battle of kharkov (1943), army group south bore the brunt of the fighting on the eastern front from the beginning of 1943 to the spring of 1944. ]. Here they still have a warm bunker where they can take shelter. - i'm sending you airmail stamps again today. Now i send you my heartfelt greetings and kisses, with love, your hansl. Date: 24 February 1943.
