Intensive and complete maintenance of vehicles and all other equipment was begun in this area.  This was the most satisfactory maintenance opportunity accorded since we arrived on the continent in August 1944.  

I heard about a brewer (a place to purchase beer) and I went there and made a deal for beer for the battalion.  I was astonished at the cost 5 cents a quart.  It really makes it a very cheap drink to serve.

Betty I finally hired a housekeeper for my house.  She’s worse looking than “Gravel Gertie” but she does clean up after us.  Now all I need is a fireman to keep hot water.

Hq Battery had two wineries in their area, and the contents of both were well depleted by official requisitions.

Berlin capitulated today.  Many refugees collected from roads.

All personnel were billeted in houses for the period of occupation with strong interior guard posted to control civilian or infiltration of hostile troops from surrounding woods.

Alerted for movement on 24 April, but no move made.  USO shows and movies provided entertainment.  

Do you remember one year from today?  I sure do.  If you don’t it was the day you and I broke up housekeeping and I started for the E.T.O.  Well thank goodness I’m the same now as I was then only a year older.

Well not much to report.  Tonight I played football for about two hours and every bone in my body aches now.

Received 3 lbs of candy from you yesterday.  And honey that really tastes good too.

At 0615 on Thursday, 5 April, the battalion moved to Niedersfeld, where we closed at 0730.  This town proved to be a hot spot with B Battery suffering two casualties, one fatal due to heavy artillery shelling in their area about 0900.00

The reason why we get such a good set up is that civilians and soldiers can’t live in the same house.  Therefore we had all the civilians move out and take over completely.  How would you like to have an officer knock on your door and say I’m going to take over your house.  Then tell you, you have an hour to get out and stay out.  Well Janey that is what your husband does.  Man, woman or children all the same.
