On the basis of your telex, I had the accommodations-by-pz.Gren. Ausb. u. Ers.Btl.1 in Spreenhagen moved by a representative of my main office.The company in which your son serves is currently moderately accommodated. The barracks have already arrived. The construction of the latter begins, so that this emergency accommodation can be provided in the foreseeable future. The company is available in its area 2 pumping systems. These are of course only necessary. During the warm season the actual washings are carried out in the 200 m away small lake of a gravel pit. Furthermore, the company is available at 7oo m distance the Spree. The health condition of the company can be described as quite good despite these primitive conditions. It is to be noted with a company strength of 300 men on average only 15 disease cases. I would be very grateful if you would help me with the procurement of pumps with manual operation, because due to the lack of these systems also with other #-Tr.Üb.Plätzen and emergency accommodation similar stored conditions exist. With warmest greetings and Heil Hitler ! Your tT f7l St. M. X M -4 t /44 4-FHA. 236 - 10 009. 12. 42.
