Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1941-03-10) letter no. 5 (1941-03-23) next letter (1941-03-29) envelope: front back text göttingen, march 28, 1941. Dear parents! thank you very much for your lovely letter. Yes, the map of the barracks is very good, but in reality it is much bigger. Today is wehrmacht day and there is all sorts going on. Riding, shooting, cinema, dancing and entertainment. The first lieutenant is out collecting right now. You write how long the training will last, yes, that is still undetermined. I think 8 weeks but it could take longer! you don't need to worry about the easter packages, i'll be writing to you in good time. I haven't received the package from the 17th yet. In any case, i would like to thank you in advance; a little extra like this [???] always makes you happy. Many thanks for the greetings from mrs schneider and fini. I send my warmest greetings to everyone too. I'm not at all surprised that mrs jarosik is angry again; we get used to it soon. She'll be back. I can well imagine that you were sad when i left. But you must console yourself, dear mum. You must always remember that i'm still here and that i'll come back. It will all pass, and above all, i'm fine here. You don't need to worry at all. You'll be as good to daddy as you always have been, and as good as he is to you. Date: 23 March 1941.
