My beloved Johan,
I hope all is well with you out there in that cold Atlantic sea. I hope that Hoochie Woochie scarf I made you is keeping you warm. I saw your mother at the factory yesterday. For some reason she called me lazy, for being late. But I told her that I'm always on time for the factory. how could she get the idea that I'm Lazy? Who knows!
You have gone just days and already I miss you. I miss your songs and your voice. Your voice was such that you could easily call my fathers swine in from the far trough. How they squealed with delight when you sang your Hoochie Woochie songs you made up. Father says you'll make a fine Hog Caller when you come back from the War.
I told your mother that I was late, but before I could tell her why, the next tank was all ready rolling up on the line. I was going to tell her that I was late sending a package to Erik Wolfgang Von Laetzch. Your old friend from school. Remember he's the one that always called you "BB Balz". He is in the fifth Panzer Corp, as a Tank Commander. When he comes home for leave, he always smells soo much better than you.
It's always exciting talking with him, and he never calls me Bernard in his sleep. He always wants to roll in the hay, instead of that silly game of yours "Up Periscope"
Well Gotta go, father says I need to work more cause I'm gaining weight and there's hardly any food.............Good Luck My Herr "BB", and see you soon........Love Grecthen
