Address Verification: Sender: Abs: Soldat Rudolf Petermann (Sender: Soldier Rudolf Petermann) Full address (from envelope back): Gr. R. Petermann (Grenadier Rudolf Petermann), Res. Laz. Abtlg. Inneres Zimmer 100 (Reserve Lazarett Abteilung Inneres Zimmer 100 - Reserve Hospital, Internal Medicine Department, Room 100), Stendal. Recipient: Familie R. Petermann (Family R. Petermann - likely Renatus as per your info) Karl-Roos Str. 250 Eschau i/Elsass (im Elsass - in Alsace) bei Strassburg (near Strasbourg) Translation: Stendal, April 7, 1944. Dear Mother, I just want to let you know about a short special leave, and indeed, it won't be much longer until I come on leave. The doctor said the hospital stay was long enough, now ripe for an early discharge. So please don't worry if it's not the end of the month, then it will be May. I want to see first what's going on; I will then also give you more precise information. There will probably still be a small argument between the doctor and me, but I wasn't with the Kommiss [army administration/bureaucracy]; I was the shortest one as a gunner. I also received your letter promptly, many thanks. Father was also lucky, then the trouble/dizziness would be over. I must now keep very quiet, and until further notice, you all write calmly. Greets and kisses you very heartily, as well as many others, Your Roger. Brief Summary: This is a World War II German Feldpost letter with its original envelope, written on April 7, 1944, and postmarked in Stendal, Germany, on April 8, 1944. It was sent by Soldat (Grenadier) Rudolf Petermann from the Reserve Hospital in Stendal to his family (Familie Renatus Petermann) in Eschau, Alsace (then annexed by Germany). The letter is personal, informing his mother that he expects to be discharged from the hospital soon and will be coming home on leave, possibly by the end of April or in May. He mentions a potential minor disagreement with the doctor still to come and thanks her for a previous letter. The envelope bears a military censorship stamp.
