This episode focuses on the World War 2 correspondence from an U.S. Army Captain in the 7th Armored Division, 489th Armored Field Artillery Battalion in Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.   The new week was started appropriately on Sunday, June 10th with Protestant and Catholic services held in the battalion area.   Betty there are ten Polish, German speaking girls here to one German, German speaking girl.  They have found out if they say they are Polish they can go with American soldiers.  And tell me honey how can you tell the difference between a Polish and German girl? Another officer party tonight.  It will be the same old stuff.  Sit around and drink. In our apartment we have a bath, kitchen, living room, dining room and bathroom.  That isn’t bad is it honey?
