Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1942-12-23) letter no. 118 (1942-12-31) next letter (1943-01-01) east 31. 12. 42. My beloved mother! today, on the last day of the old year, i want to send you my warmest greetings again. Thank you very much for your lovely letter of 18. 12. The cute new year's cards and the wish for your name day [27. 12. Is the memorial day of the apostle and evangelist john]. I am also always very happy when i get mail from you. The novel and the illustrations have also arrived. The novel was glued together in such a way that the pages no longer come apart. But that doesn't matter, i still have something to read. It's just that the writing paper is very bad. This is my last envelope today. I have nothing left. Aunt mitzi also sent a package with two nice books and biscuits. The second package from fählers came yesterday. Biscuits gingerbread and also a nice piece of sausage. I had a lovely and, above all, quiet christmas in my comrades' bunker. I was thinking a lot about you and home. Now we are going into a new year. We want to hope with all our hearts that it will bring us victory [and thus the longed-for peace. ]. Date: 31 December 1942.
