Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1944-03-09) letter no. 233 (1944-03-11) next letter (1944-03-18) envelope: front back card - front card - back card - back - rotated text how i would love to be here with you. Four weeks have passed today since we were with dad and said goodbye again. How quickly they went by and yet how long it seems to me. Just like the two years since dad left us. What has happened in that time. It would be wonderful if dad were still with us in good health, but his serious illness would have been a great torment for him. We have already talked about it. For us he is still here, even if only in our thoughts. I often dream of him and see him so clearly. We don’t want to be sad again and want to keep him in our loving thoughts. May god grant him eternal rest! my thoughts will also be with my comrades tomorrow who remained outside - how many are there? may the lord soon give us victorious peace! now, my mum to you. Well, in the gas alley someone suddenly took an interest in you. Did they cut you some money? how are you, my mum? is there anything new? have you had an alarm again? what's the weather like? but i want to know a lot, don't you think! please give my regards to all your friends. I'm perfectly fine now, so no need to worry. Since i'm staying at home a little longer, i'd like you to send me money, around 50 rm from mine, of course. Also if you have cigarettes and can send them to me, i'd be very grateful, they're damn tight. Good night, my mum, be happy and don't worry, heartfelt greetings and kisses from your hansl. Date: 11 March 1944.
