Feb 11 1945 Somewhere in Germany
Dearest Mom,
Don't let that little line scare you 'cause as far as safety goes there isn't much difference from what went on while I was in Belgium or Luxembourg.
I can't tell you much that would be too exciting about this land of the supermen. The anti-tank dragon teeth and pill box fortifications are interesting as long as I don't have to storm them with the infantry. Some of those pill-boxes are really fixed up for living in. Nice bunks, stoves and even showers. I don't care so much for this German home better than the last barn I was in. For supermen they build things lower than central African pygmies. I've cracked my head on the top of the doorway to this room a dozen times today.
Leona tells me (Jan 28th air mail, got yours of the 20th 3 days ago) you found out about the massacre of the Observation Battalion Battery from Wes. I'd hoped that it wouldn't come out 'cause I knew you'd worry. It wasn't our outfit, but I'll tell you more after the war.
Dad writes regularly but it takes a long time to get letters. As long or longer than from home.
I'm writing another "V" to Ken tonight so I'll add more there.
All my love,
Lu
