Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1945-02-25) letter no. 313 (1945-03-04) next letter (1945-03-12) envelope: front back text [it must have been very nice in the past]. You always have to be amazed at the people of berlin, they are not the least bit nervous. The u. And s. Trains are running as usual and the shops are still open. There are enough alarms, we also had to go into the basement twice. But everything went well, it wasn't bad. We were in berlin for 2 days and pulled out all the stops for our purposes. Imagine, we even went to the reich commissioner for construction in the reich capital poriserpl [???]. 3. [albert speer ???]. He put a truck at our disposal so we could quickly get our things in order. They even took us to the train station. So we drove on here. You can imagine the surprise. Now we're going to have some lovely days again and are staying until the 8th, then we're going back to blankenburg. What will happen next is uncertain. We'll probably have to follow the others to potsdam, and what will happen then is still uncertain. But don't worry, that will be fine too, i'll write to you straight away from there. Always think of the lovely time i was able to spend in blkbg. Today i'm sending you some pictures that we took from a while ago, please put them with the others. I've heard that there are even fewer stamps now. Since i can now eat and live here, and it's excellent, and everything is stamp-free, i want to send you stamps for these 4 days. Just take them, i [really don't need them. ]. Date: 4 March 1945.
