Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1944-05-10) letter no. 249 (1944-05-19) next letter (1944-05-24) envelope: front back text iii. [and to be honest, my mother, i am saying goodbye] to the people i love most, preferably at home! my memories are completely different from those of the many people at the train station. I also know now that i’m gone that i spent far too little time with my dear mother; please don’t be angry with me for that. You know that i’m a “flederwisch” [restless, superficial person]. One thing you feel and know is that you are my everything. I can’t even remember speaking to a woman on the way out. I was also very surprised by your little comment that i was annoyed. I really don't know anything about that either, but it can happen sometimes, but my mother, what makes you think that i was angry because of you? there was no reason for it at all, how could i be angry because of you in the oh so short time that i've been with you? Date: 19 May 1944.
