Episode 31: December 2nd - December 6th, 1944

from Letters from the Past · host Scott Ginther

World War 2 letters from a 1st Lieutenant in Germany to his wife in Michigan. The 3rd was another cold wet day with a strong wind whipping across the treeless plain. Janey did I ever describe a German town to you.  Well I’ll try even though I am not much on description.  Well honey as you enter a town you will find tank traps and many mines.  Then you will notice that the buildings have all been bombed or blown up by artillery. Do you remember three years ago tomorrow?  That was some Sunday dinner after we heard that Japan had started the war.  Well darling maybe this will be over soon.  I sure hope so.
