Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1944-09-21) letter no. 285 (1944-09-28) next letter (1944-10-02) map map - rotated text [the town is said to be very] nice, also in the beautiful harz mountains, just in a different corner. The school is the most modern in the reich. Above all, it is the first course of study that i can also use in civilian life, because a driving license is always useful. Even the “hatschen” [austriacism (austrian): long, strenuous walking] in the infantry has perhaps declined somewhat! so we can be happy that it turned out this way, and you, my mom, don’t be afraid, i’m being careful and everything will be fine! and believe me, my mom, i wasn’t keen to stay at home any longer and avoid the front. It all came about by itself because i'm well-regarded here in the company, so i was given this discount. Although i'm happy about it, i don't like leaving here and they don't like letting me go, even if it's only for a short time. Now i'm excited to see how it turns out. I'll write you my new address straight away. So, my mom, we can continue to be happy and be glad that it turned out this way! so my next greeting comes from gandersheim. Until then, greetings, kisses and hugs from your hansl. Date: 28 September 1944.
