Günzel, field post number: 44384. Dear Günter Karl : A warm thought for your sign of life. I am pleased that you are well and I am delighted to answer your wishes for Christmas and New Year. Surely in 1945 still manohe sohwere task will be to solve. But Jeh am convinced that the harshness of the Schickaala, which burdened the people and homeland in the last year, has made the nation a victory. Here everything is happening, but under increasingly difficult conditions, we will continue to make the war contribution for the empire aicher. So far everything is still essentially quiet. The repercussions of the Slovak insurrection are naturally felt in Moravia, all the more so since the Russian pront partly brought about the East-Slovakia, partly nearing South Slovakia. Once again all the best and still a lot of soldiers' luck! X41-27C/421
