From Günther in Greifswald. Time has been flying since they last saw each other. He is almost back to where he started. The only difference is that he is not a student anymore. They are stationed in Greifswald to protect the capital. Unfortunately, the enemy has not shown itself during the full moon or while the moon was shining in general. It would be effortless to detect the enemy, and flying is more fun than when it is pitch dark. He is content with his life in Greifswald. He has flying duty at night and has to stay awake to await orders, which sometimes never come. He then sleeps in the mornings until lunchtime. Günther reminds Hella to use his regular Feldpost number so her letters do not go missing or get sent back. Since he had not received any letters from Hella for a while, he called her parents. He also asked his mother if she knew where Hella was now. Günther asks her whether she has received the chocolate and the photo by now. He has a stock of cigarettes and tells Hella to let him know if she can use them to buy something she would like. With envelope.

From Günther at the officers’ quarters somewhere in the Netherlands. Günther reports that he had to leave all of his things behind. He and his comrades were having their Sunday coffee and cake in town when they were suddenly called to flying duty and had to rush back to the air base. The motors of their machines had already been started, and there was just enough time to get changed. In less than 30 minutes, they were on their way to the Netherlands. There, the machines were immediately prepared for their next flight, but then nothing happened. They are still waiting for their next flying duty. A few days ago, Günther received the wedding cake from Hella’s mother and shared it with his two roommates. However, he still has not received a letter from Hella. He wonders if she is too busy to think about her poor Günther and threatens to get back at Hella by not sending her any more chocolate. He hopes a letter will be waiting for him when he gets back to Greifswald, or he will be very upset. With envelope.

From Günther in Greifswald. There was indeed a long letter from Hella waiting for Günther upon his return to Greifswald. He immediately writes back to her after learning that she feels lonely in Cimmitschau. During the latest attack on Hanover, Günther flew his first mission. Even though he arrived a little too late to shoot at the enemy, he enjoyed flying through the dust clouds of explosions. He hopes to fly his next mission against the Tommies soon. Günther continues his letter on 30 September. He was on flying duty last night, but they could not take off because it was too foggy. He listened to dance music on the radio instead. While there is enough time to learn how to dance, there are no suitable dance partners. Since Günther is a night fighter, he sleeps during the day. He prefers not to go out and even said no to a dance night with female students from the local university organized by a few officers the other week. He did not want to take the risk of dancing with someone he had not seen before. In his opinion, female students often wear specs and are not generally the prettiest girls. Günther hopes to be able to send her another package soon since it is the only thing he can do to console her. With envelope.

From Hella in Crimmitschau. She has been put on ‘washing duty’ for the week. She does not have much to do apart from school work so she thinks about Günther. She writes some of these fancies down and asks what sort of plane he is now flying. She is happy that he did not take part in the dance evening. With envelope.

From Günther in Kassel-Rothwesten, Fliegerhorst, Offiziersheim. He has been very busy and so unable to write. A daylight air battle with the Americans has earned him a time of peace. He is using this time simply to eat and sleep in the two rooms assigned to him. He is finding this rest period quite taxing as his thoughts are quite depressing. Youth seems to be passing him by. At twenty he feels like an old man, happy just to be alive, to have survived. With envelope.

From Günther in Kassel. He thanks Hella for the picture she sent. He recently flew over Berlin and asks if she can send him a map showing where her school is. He finds it difficult that he does not know of any landing sites in Berlin. He does not have a picture of his plane. It is a month now since he has been able to watch a film due to being called out. Comments on how difficult it is for Hella to be allowed some free time. With envelope.

From Hella in Crimmitschau. She encloses a travel book for Günther so that he will have something to read. She has never read it herself. She asks if Günther was involved in last night’s air attack on Berlin. Hella and all in the camp had to spend the night in the air raid shelters. She hopes Hans was not hurt by the attack. She does not know how her parents are as she cannot reach Berlin by phone. She thinks that it won’t help to panic and get upset. Hella asks Günther to write to his mother. This is in response to a letter Hella received from Mrs Junge. The camp is expecting a visit from the District Leader from Dresden. Her parents are asking after Günther.

From Hella in Crimmitschau. Hella thinks that the post cannot be working as she has not heard from him. Everyone is wrapping parcels as last post for Christmas is that day. The director of the commercial college has presented the camp with pictures of holders of the oak medal [associated with the Iron Cross]. Hella wonders why the camp should be decorated with pictures of men. The camp leader has returned. She asks if Günther will be able to visit over the holidays. With envelope.
