For example, i am 16½ and am still counted as 16. Karl and i get 4 rm [reichsmarks] 80 pf a week. 1. 75 rm is deducted from this. We also pay 60 pf every month for the hitler youth. And what were we promised? you have no idea how quickly time flies. I have been here for two months now. - now i want to ask you something. Answer me as quickly as possible. The boys could all afford riding trousers and boots. Should i buy one or not? one piece doesn't go bad because i can wear it in any weather. So should i buy that or something else at home?
