20 April 1945

You will have already known from the press that here we have also begun to advance. The “forgotten front” moves again and as a result, me too. I haven’t been able to write to you for the last week because I was constantly on the move and I simply couldn’t. Nothing special, but when the army advances, transport has the job of going at the head. Morale is excellent because we know so well that this is the last thrust before the final collapse of fascism. And then – peace. And then again – you, darling.  ….

Will Marseilles be as you dream it?  Or somewhere else. My God, how I want you to be o n French soil. But what I want most is to have you there in front of me, pressed against me and it doesn’t matter where that will be… We will love each other. With all the sadness of the past. with all the happiness of having found each other again, with the certainty of never parting again. Ever. And all those past nights fade before the sublime nights to come, darling.
