Abstract

August 12, 1941 We’ve arrived in Warsaw after a quiet and rather comfortable trip. There wasn’t much to see. A thick fog blanketed the landscape. I’ve had a little breakfast and freshened up and am waiting for the command center to open for news of my next assignment. In between fits of sleep I thought about you a great deal. I wonder if [the popular remedy of] sitting in the streetcar helped [start your contractions], or if you’ve gone to see a doctor. […] At around 10 a.m. we’re to move on—via Brest-Litovsk to Minsk. I’ll likely stay in that area. It’s really quite far behind the front, so please don’t worry....
