Field post letters from hans koch, vienna, world war ii, eastern front, 1922-1945 previous letter (1944-05-19) letter no. 248 (1944-05-24) next letter (1944-05-25) envelope: front back text quedlinburg, may 24, 1944. My beloved mum, as you can see, i'm on tour again. I'm on another business trip, it's about 20km from blankenburg, i set off this morning at 6:45 a. M. And by 8:00 a. M. The job was already done, now i have the whole day free again. Well, there you have it, you should never shout anything out loud, the sirens are just blaring, preliminary alarm. I heard on the radio that they're also approaching upper and lower danube, i hope they'll leave us alone. To you, my mum, i'd like to say thank you very much for the lovely letter with pictures and the little package. You've probably already received my second letter. It's too bad that poldi and i missed each other so much. It was only two days. What does he look like? what does he say? i see that you still have to think about the sausage, but you know that's long forgotten. If we don't have to get over anything more than a little sausage, then it's ok. Yes, it's a shame that we haven't seen each other. I looked and looked, but there was no sign of my mother. So trude brought the pictures after all. Thank you to her for that [please say hello to her too. ]. Date: 24 May 1944.
