Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1944-08-31) letter no. 276 (1944-09-03) next letter (1944-09-08) card card - rotated text blankenburg, 3. 9. 44. My beloved mum! i'm sure you've already received my card; today the promised letter follows. I can imagine the fuss that the bricklayer made. Where did you pick him up? i'm really curious to see what it's like when i get home. When that will be is not yet known. With the alarm, things must be great for you now. Every time i hear that they've been with us in vienna again, i think of you and hope that everything is ok. Now they're throwing bombs into the city and another hospital has been hit. They were there again when you wrote me this letter. But you can't wait until it crashes because it may already be too late. Please go straight to the cellar! you have to look after yourself, my mom, look, you are everything i have and the most precious thing i have in this world! so please be careful, let everything else go to hell! things have become quieter here again now during the day [they come less often now, this week only occasionally at night. ]. Date: 3 September 1944.
