My beloved mother! another little greeting from your little driver. Today was the first time i sat behind the wheel and drove the car alone. The driving instructor always sits next to me and keeps a close eye on things so nothing happens. It's a bit of a strange feeling when the car gets used to you and obeys your commands. The service here is very nice and interesting. No comparison at all with the stubborn infantry. The area is wonderful, like everywhere else here in the harz, and then to swing through the area so beautifully is great. Today we had a high-ranking visitor, a general with a knight's cross was here. He was surprised that we are the youngest in the school here, hopefully it will only be "surprised"! now i'm really waiting for your first post about how you are and what else is new? what are the planes doing, have you had another attack? it's a bit quieter here than in blankenburg. You should be able to come here and see how [beautiful it is here. ]. Date: 4 October 1944.
