Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1944-08-23) letter no. 274 (1944-08-28) next letter (1944-08-31) envelope: front back text blankenburg, harz. August 28, 1944. My dear mother! i send you my heartfelt greetings again. How are you and what are you doing? there were attacks on our city of vienna again, it was bad, but everything is still intact here? have you not received my letter with the picture yet? i have not had any mail from you for a long time, that is probably due to the general restrictions! what do they say about romania at home? [ royal coup d’état in romania on august 23, 1944 ] that must be something too. Yes, there you go again, you only have friends as long as you are doing well, but now that things are looking gloomy, everyone is slowly letting us down. You can't even think about it all. Well, we just want to keep hoping that it wasn't all in vain. Everything is still the same for me, i am healthy and doing well. The weather was wonderful for swimming all week. Yesterday we were on duty again, but it finished at 6 p. M. , so i went to the cinema. Imagine, "schrammeln" was playing. It was wonderfully beautiful, i could have cried. I thought about how we [were in the castle cinema together. ]. Date: 28 August 1944.
