14 August 1940
Dear Fuhrer,
I was formidably inspired by your warm reception, coffee and especially the cake.
Now, preparing my boot and crew to go meet the enemy I feel rejuvenated by our meeting.
Like Siegfrid, Dietrich von Bern, and other heroes of our ancient past I intend to raise above the petit burgeous and soar into the lofty heights of Germanic heroism and do my simple duty. You could have not chosen a better man than myself for the task ahead.
I love hearing you say in your speeches, "Ein Reich, ein Volk." May I suggest you add more impact to your oratory by saying, "Ein Reich, ein Volk, ein hoochie woochie?"
Your devoted and best officer,
Kptlt Johan Sebastian Balz.
