Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1941-04-20) letter no. 11 (1941-05-04) (envelope no. 10 missing) next letter (1941-05-14) envelope: front back text göttingen, may 4, 1941. Dear parents! thank you very much for your lovely package and the lovely letter. I was very pleased with both of them. But you've incurred expenses again with the packages. Just imagine! a large package arrived yesterday. I looked at the sender and who was it: the saukel family. That's the official from vösendorf who i had gone to say goodbye to the previous evening. I was very pleased and wrote back straight away and thanked them. It's really nice to be complete strangers. So mitzi was with you yesterday, did you tell her about the mail? yes and siegi wrote to me, but he didn't send anything, well, everything is in turmoil with him now. The thing about world war ii and where papa was is just my guess, maybe we'll get to poland because of it, i don't think! for now we're still sitting here and waiting for what's to come. Everything is the same here as always. Always on duty, from friday to saturday we had a 65 km march with our luggage, which was pretty good. We were quartered twice and led a real soldier's life. I'm surprised that peternk kurt wants to enlist now, i think. Date: 4 May 1941.
