From Günther in Parchim. The weather has been really nice. Yesterday, it was 35° C in the shade, which is fine when wearing airy clothes, but not when wearing a uniform. Luckily, he spent half of the day 1000 metres above the earth on a cross-country flight. However, the visibility was poor, so he could not see the Olympia Stadium. Günther also flew over Herzberg, Dresden, Chemnitz, Erfurt and Kyffhäuser before heading back. Things have calmed down slightly, but he and his comrades still have plenty of flying duty. Since Hella asked him to tell her what he really thinks about her photo, Günther admits that he only looked at it once. In his opinion, it is not only badly retouched but also does not look like her. He does not like her dress either. He hopes she is not mad at him and says that taking pictures is not easy. Günther tells Hella to enjoy her work and make sure the Tommies do not destroy her house. With envelope.

From Hella in Charlottenburg, Berlin. Hella is delighted that her time teaching at the school as part of her war duty is over. Her school is leaving Berlin, but nobody is clear as to where exactly they will be sent. Hella is busy packing her things and enjoying some free time to catch up with mail. She would like Günther to write more often. With envelope.

From Hella in Crimmitschau. She feels like a long time has passed since she said goodbye to Günther. She puts this down to him not writing so often and it being boring in Crimmitschau. She is trying to alleviate feeling blue by thinking of happier times such as Gisela’s wedding or her birthday four weeks ago which Günther managed to attend. She discusses money that Günther gave her and thanks him for a parcel of goodies. Parents are coming to visit her the coming weekend. The food in Crimmitschau is at least good and plentiful. She thinks the cigarettes Günther has offered would be very useful for bartering. With envelope.

From Hella in Crimmitschau. She hasn’t written because she was sick or rather pretending to be so that she could have a rest in the room reserved for those unwell which was much more private and comfortable. While she was ill her friends found her pears and ate all but one. Sunday is also washing day but hot water is scarce. With envelope.

Postcard from Hella in Oberschlema, Erzgebirgskreis. ‘1000 greetings from our travels is sent to you by your Hella’.

From Günther in Kassel. The weather is bad. The laundrette in Kassell with all his washing was bombed. He has saved some cigars etc. for Hella’s family, but eaten the chocolate himself. He reminds her that she does not need to pay for postage, just mark the letter Feldpost.

Aerogramme from Günther in Kassel. Günther has not heard from Hella for some time and surmises that all her letters are waiting in Kassel where everything is supposed to be somewhat in disarray. He has left Kassel for a few days but will be back. He has watched the same film 6 Tage Heimaturlaub.

From Hella in Crimmitschau. She apologises for not having written and notes that since his visit to Frankfurt, Günther seems to have become quite troubled. She is surprised that he has only just noticed that morale has weakened. She hopes he recovers soon and suggests it is because he hasn’t got much to distract him. She comments on the fact that whilst they both want to read, she can’t because of lack of time and he can’t because he hasn’t got anything to read. She asks what he would like her to send him to read. She is pleased that Günther is going to try to come and visit. She is not happy at the moment and to cheer herself up is focussing on the upcoming Mountain Festival, Christmas and a visit to Hans. With envelope.

Postcard from Günther in Kassel written to accompany a parcel marking the first anniversary of their friendship. He tells Hella how much he loves her.

From Hella in Crimmitschau. She is delighted with the parcel of chocolate Günther sent and hopes to see him soon in Crimmitschau. She is still not sure if she will be given holidays over Christmas so that she can come to Berlin. Life in the camp is still hard. Now they are no longer allowed to whistle or play the gramophone. During the camp leaders absence one day, they all went wild with the freedom. She discusses the upcoming leaving exams. With envelope.
