They must have been laid up. then all at once. they all come. I was glad to get them, and hope that your cold is better by now. I also had a little cold last week. But I am over it now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather is swell for colds. Over here Rain and more rain and plenty damp. Its a wonder we don&#8217;t have more colds. But we stay pretty well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well another country has been added to my list. I guess this will be the last one. We are making a mess of it and it is darn rough going. But we are driving them out of the tough section. And the Sigrid line was very rough. I think they learned them a lesson in Aachen, we could see the city in flame from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The few German people left behind seem pretty nice and rather glad to see us, they say they hate Hitler some time I wonder if they do. But I guess they are sick and tired of his bull. They tell us to (Coput) him which mean to kill him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There German homes are wonderful on the inside most of them have real nice furniture right up to date they seem to have everything. after all I guess they should have they been taking it away from other countries for four years now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the nice homes don&#8217;t look so good after we shoot them up and also the Germans shoot there own homes now. It will take years and years to rebuild these countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you had a hard time finding a pen. If I would have knew that it would cause you that much trouble I would not have mentioned it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took another step. I am now a T\/4 or Sgt. Still have the same job only get more money. I think a Sgt gets $93.00 per month plus 5% for being in the service three years. I will close for tonite. with love Felix<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oct 26, 1944 Germany Dear Ann, This week I received about five or six letters from you.
