It snowed again here and it's gotten a bit colder again, but it's not bad. Today the weather was clear so you can see the russians well. You can see them shoveling snow and running around over there. It's too far to shoot at them, you need a telescopic sight. Now we also have a new type of radio transmission. We have a telephone in the bunker and the boss has a radio. They put their receivers on the device so we can listen in, great, right! it's 9:15 p. M. Now. I'm going to toast a couple of slices of bread and then "hurry, hurry, into the basket!" now, dear mum, for my sake, don't be sad. Greetings and kisses from the bottom of my heart, your hansl. Sending you airmail stamps again! (vertical line on the right edge of the letter) have you received the letter with the documents yet? Date: 4 March 1943.
