Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1944-11-08) letter no. 294 (1944-11-14) next letter (1944-11-18) envelope: front back text blankenburg, november 14, 1944. My beloved mum! the post is taking a lot longer than usual now, your letter of november 7 only arrived today. Thank you very much for that, it really reassures me to hear that you are healthy. You poor thing have to go through a lot now. You can't even eat, but you have to make sure you get as much food as possible. Our beautiful old vienna. I can't imagine it. I remember everything just as i left it. Well, maybe i'll go on holiday in the foreseeable future, then i'll see everything in person, but when that will be is not yet certain. How is it at lokl, is the house and the business still standing? i haven't heard anything from poldi; a letter to him came back with the note "wait for new address". I hope he is only healthy! tomorrow would be his name day, the famous "leopoldi day" [15 november]. How it used to be celebrated at the "fasselrutschen" [leopoldi day]. Well, this too will come again one of these days. Yes, mamschl, i can well imagine you, even in the basement when there is great danger, still "outfitting" the others and laughing about it, because i got that from you; i feel exactly the same. What are fritz and hansi doing with their little ones? please give them my regards. Date: 14 November 1944.
