Silke,
It's been so long now, almost ten years since I have allowed myself to think of you. I promised myself the day I was thrown out of the navy that I would never even allow myself to imagine your face, let alone speak your name or write you letters you will never receive.
You would be so proud of me if you knew where I am now and what I have accomplished. I have risen to such a high rank in the Nazi hierarchy that the Fuhrer now receives me alone, and has invited me to talk to him whenever I would like. I have been appointed Deputy Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia, and I have the entire Criminal Police under my thumb.
I know you will not want to hear this, but Lina and I have three children, with a fourth on the way. I have two boys, Klaus and Heider, and a girl...Silke.
I promised you, remember? I told you that the first girl we would have would have her mother's name, your name. Even though you're not my daughter's mother, I still felt the need to honor that promise. It's the only promise I can still honor to you.
I miss you. I miss you every single day. Since the last time we saw each other, I haven't been able to erase you from my thoughts. I loved you, Silke. I loved you more than life itself. And I still do love you. I always will.
Love always,
Your Reinhard.
