Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 envelope: front back page 2 text göttingen, april 26, 1941. Dear parents, i was delighted to receive your lovely letter. I'm glad you liked my picture. I don't have a better one at the moment. Yes, the good looks must come from the march. March, we do enough of that! dear mum, you think our washed laundry must have looked lovely. Such allusions are all sorts of things, and the sweat was already running down our faces from all the "scrubbing". Yes, you're right, it's not like at home with "mum". But it's okay. Just imagine, aunt mitzi sent another package of sweets today and she didn't have anything herself. Siegi also wrote to me that he's fine. Yes, karl and i wanted to join the tank troops, but now it's not possible. So what do you say about yugoslavia and greece? i'm happy that your homeland is free, dear mum. I would have loved to be there. It would have been nice to enlist in marburg. Maybe we'll go where dad was in the world war. But you don't know when or where we'll go. So hedwig was with you, what an honour, when they need something they always come. I'm curious about the "sending". What peterek said is all rubbish, it's unbelievable. I asked our non-commissioned officers and they said it's pure nonsense! doesn't kurt have to enlist yet? Date: 26 May 1941.
