"21 April 1915
Dear Andrea,
We've been stuck down this hole since January, and I can't stand it any more. I'm sick to the back teeth with living like a rat. I really miss life as it was before, strolling beneath the linden trees with you. I even miss working in the factory.
All my love,
Your Dieter"
