Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1944-01-12) letter no. 223 (1944-02-14) next letter (1944-02-17) envelope: front back text [it was] such a quick photographer, well, you can imagine the drama. Now it is already evening and i am sitting in my room writing to the thing i love most. Since i came back from vacation, i was immediately ordered to air raid duty today and am not allowed to leave the barracks until 5 p. M. Tomorrow. But that doesn’t matter. I’ll slowly get used to army life again. My comrades, who came back from vacation with the same great “joy,” are mostly already asleep so they can better forget the famous “vacation hangover. ” there’s no point in doing anything, it won’t change anything. This too shall pass. I've been thinking about you a lot today [whether you're at home or maybe back at work. ]. Date: 14 February 1944.
