Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (11/10/1941) letter no. 42 (11/22/1941) next letter (12/01/1941) now i would like to ask you not to send me any shaving soap, blades or writing paper. I also have enough cigarettes now, and when i need them i will write again. I would really need suspenders, however. And if you would like to send me some sweets, i would be very happy. You have received the money now. Just take it for yourself. I have more than enough money! yes, your request, mama, about curtains, fat or bacon, made me laugh, because unfortunately it is impossible to get them here in russia. Especially as an infantryman, we don't know what to do with the stuff. But the russians don't have anything themselves, the windows are covered with paper. Date: 22 November 1941.
