Letters To Home - March 12, 1952

Munich, Germany
March 12, 1952

Joe and I started our leaves right on schedule, got here at 6:30 Monday morning. We have a very nice room right across the street from the train station.

The weather is warm, but rainy. As long as this wet weather holds on, there isn't much use to go to Garmisch, which is mainly a winter resort and a place to go sight-seeing. Anyway, there is lots to do and to see here in Munich.

As yet, I haven't been out to see Bernie, but will soon. Tomorrow Joe and I are heading to Regensburg to see his frind from home. In his last letter, Bernie told me he will be going to the school in Dachau, too, possibly this week, but I'll check before I go.

That's about all for now. Joe is asleep, wrapped up in his feather tick. I still can't get used to it, but it will be O. K. for a week.

I'll write soon, and please do the same.

Letters To Home - January 11, 1952

Dachau, Germany
January 11, 1952

The weather is turning very warm. The classes are still interesting. It would be nice to stay here for about six weeks instead of just two. This seems to be the best deal I've found in the army.

Tell Mr. Mowry that his son is in a movie called "Decision Before Dawn." I'm reading the book right now, and if the picture is as good as the book, it will be one of the best. It was filmed in Germany in 16 different cities, according to the "Stars And Stripes." Much of the film was shot in Mannheim, Munich and Frankfort.

I'm sending along a post card of the market place in Munich. I hear that this is where Hitler got his start. Munich is really a beautiful city, maybe the prettiest in Germany, but Frankfort seems to be more modern.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to find Bernie. It's late, and I'm tired.
