Ihm/Him

April 13,1943

Poland

I walk around our camping looking for our commanding officer. Hanz told me that today we received a whole lot of letters out of Germany. I hope Birgitta wrote to me. It's been almost 2 months since I've heard anything from her.

I run my hand through my unruly, unwashed hair, as I see my commanding officer. I walk over to him, fixing my uniform a little as I go. Once I reach him, I salute him,

"Captain Sherz, sir. Did you receive any letters from Frankfurt from a Frauline Birgitta Gottlieb?" I ask, standing tall.

He smirks as he nods, "Yes, I just happened to see something of that nature this morning, in fact. Officer Himmel is handling all the letters at this moment." He replies, scratching his chin.

I smile. Saluting him, I leave to go find Officer Himmel.

I walk around our camp, asking if anyone had seen him. After a good 10 minutes of searching, I finally found him.

"Ah, yes. I did see a letter like that." he says, after I asked him. "In fact, here it is.' He says, lifting an envelope from the table.

"Thank you, sir!' I grin, grabbing the letter from his hands.

I quickly run back to where my belongings are and sit down, examining the unopened letter.

After about a minute of just looking on the outside, I finally get the courage to open it.

I tear it open, and frown once I see how little she wrote. Then my eyes widen when I see what she wrote.

I drop the letter and put my face into my hands. My poor Birgitta.

Opa died from a heart attack, yesterday. Please come home, you're all I have left. I love you.

Birgitta
