I sure hope I get to come home with the division in September, but I’ll be surprised if I do.

Today I’ve been on my bed ⅔ of the day.  It is too damn hot (86) to wear our wool uniforms.  Yet we have nothing else to wear.  Tonight I am sitting around in my pajamas.

Letters from an U.S. Army Captain deployed to Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.  

Janey I’m not sure what is in store for me but I surely wish that whatever it is, it happens soon.  I would rather get occupation than to go to the Pacific.

Here are two pictures of a group of Germans.  In one you can see the dress of the German girl, not much different from American.  In the other notice the kids, women, and old men.  You never see any men from 18 to 40.  They just aren’t to be found.  Maybe that is why the soldiers are having such a good time.

I been so cold the last two days that you have to have a fire to keep warm.  Write now I’m in the kitchen writing and tending the fire.

Honey this is a hell-of-a-way to spend the 4th of July.  I hope next year that all wars are over and that I’m home with you for good.

I'm posting the letters to gintherscott.com.  

This episode centers around the correspondence from an U.S. Army Captain in the 489th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, 7th Armored Division, located in Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.

The Battalion really found out about redeployment when it was alerted to transfer all men with the adjusted service rating score of 74 and below to medium artillery battalions of the XXI Corps.

This afternoon 1st Sergeant Dykes and myself made a trip of the area trying to get eggs for breakfast.  No luck, maybe will be able to get some tomorrow.

While a little behind I'm posting letters on gintherscott.com

The battalion won the afternoon softball and volleyball games from the 23rd Armored Infantry Battalion by scores of 6 to 1 and 2 to 0.   

I’ve never seen so much carrying on as there is going on now.  Officers are worse than the men, I believe.  At least the men aren’t so open with it.

We get a rubber issued each month for the men.  Well honey they have used up ½ of July's issue already.  Don’t mention this to people at home.  It's just as good they don’t know exactly what goes on.

Lectures were given to Hq and "A" Batteries by Major Shirley, Chaplain Barth, and Capt Bryer, the new Medical Officer, on the "Control of Venereal Disease."  

Put the halftrack in front of the Poles’ camp and fired about two bursts with the machine guns.  Then took my jeep in and fired about ten rounds with the 40 cal. Pistol.  And then the eight fellows that caused all the trouble came out, and that ended the trouble.

Organization of the area had to be continued and the Battery Commanders were called to discuss the rising rate of venereal disease in the battalion.  

Well yesterday I was ordered mind you ordered, to fix a special dinner next Friday night for Col Martin & Div Artillery Exec Major Weber and himself.  And mind you to be served on a sun porch, not at the kitchen or officer mess.  He wants steaks, fresh peas, french fried potatoes and two deserts.  Honey that is the lowest form of Ass kiss I ever seen, Pardon me.

Then last night I just laid about and thought over many of things, but as usual I never get any place thinking.

This episode focuses on the World War 2 correspondence from an U.S. Army Captain in the 7th Armored Division, 489th Armored Field Artillery Battalion in Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.  

The new week was started appropriately on Sunday, June 10th with Protestant and Catholic services held in the battalion area.  

Betty there are ten Polish, German speaking girls here to one German, German speaking girl.  They have found out if they say they are Polish they can go with American soldiers.  And tell me honey how can you tell the difference between a Polish and German girl?

Another officer party tonight.  It will be the same old stuff.  Sit around and drink.

In our apartment we have a bath, kitchen, living room, dining room and bathroom.  That isn’t bad is it honey?

A new entertainment facility was added by the reception of five record players from the division Signal officer.  

Dykes has gone to find some wine and 3 officers are out looking for some German girls.  This non-fraternization policy is the worst farce of the Military government.

Spent the morning in painting half tracks and then this afternoon it rained.  Now this evening it is very warm again, so will probably get rain again.

Betty over here we are on parade or review every time we step out of the house.  Everyone watches every move we make.

This episode focuses on the World War 2 correspondence from an U.S. Army Captain in Konnern, Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.  He is in the 489th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, Seventh Armored Division.  

The battalion felt its first touch of redeployment as Captain Swanson, Battalion Medical Officer, was transferred to the 104th Division.  

For once in their life they had too many girls.  Some became tired because nobody would dance with them and went home.

The morals of the Germans are not very good.  A girl of seventeen or eighteen think of only one thing.  And each night they parade up and down in front of the battery area.  I know damn well this no fraternization policy is not effective.
