Title A name given to the resource Letter Home from German POW Walter Schmitt 2 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource September 21st 1944 Description An account of the resource English Translation: Scottsbluff POW Camp September 21, 1944 My dear parents and Berthold, During the course of this week I received Father's letter of June 11 of this year. I hope that things continue to go well for you and that you all remain in good health. Please do not worry about me; everything is going all right. Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity here to take part in any kind of instruction or classes. As much as possible, I study on my own. My greatest opportunity is to improve my English, and I am making good progress. The weather here is quite pleasant. Although it is cold in the mornings, by midday it has become warm again. I am still working and find at least some variety in that. A few days ago I received a book from Aunt Bepi, but apart from that I have received very little mail. She has a great deal of work with the Tibbett family and therefore has very little time. From you I have also received very little mail, but I do not attach much importance to that. When the war is over and we are back home again, I will be able to tell you more. For today, heartfelt greetings to all of you from your Son and brother, Walter Schmitt
