Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1934-11-20) letter date (1934-11-24) next letter (1935-01-03) [the weather was changeable throughout, with some really lovely, warm autumn days. The day after your departure was actually quite lovely. I think of you sometimes, dear little black nigger, as only your dear, esteemed parents are, and each time i have the fervent wish that you would become a good, hard-working and happy person! you should be able to be here when i set up the crib again in advent and start building it; it is so cozy in the room with the birds, they sing and twitter, mother sews and father sits with his pipe by the warm stove and reads, or plays the zither. I love it when the wind blows around the house and the snow whirls over the fields. When you're older, hansi, you'll suddenly come to us in the winter! you'll see how beautiful and magnificent the mountains and the lovely valley are then. Austria is wonderful but i like the holy tyrolean country best! i wrote you a long letter, little nigger, and only did it because i love you dearly; otherwise i hate writing letters and i would definitely bring the person who invented this system to court martial. Say hello to your dear, esteemed parents for me and dispense me for a while so that. Date: 24 September 1934.
