(I had a hard time figuring out the name of the town in Germany Dad was in when he wrote this letter and Obergunzburg is just a guess. He must have been in a hurry to get going to Paris! LOL Also Included in this envelope was another document dated Jun 28, 1945 that lists several names of people who are being given the Good Conduct Medal...including Dad...which I have also scanned and include in this post.)
Dear Sis
How are you by this time? I am just fine as usual. Well I finally got a pass to Paris. I am leaving tomorrow. I will write and tell you all about it and will probably send you something from there.
I haven't heard from you for 3 or 4 days. I guess it is because of our move. This place is only about 50 miles from the last place we were in. And it is a little bigger. We haven't been doing anything in the last few days just laying around taking it easy.
We have had 3 or 4 parades in the last week to give out Silver Stars and other decorations. There is going to be a big one Sunday but I won't be in on it, as I will be gone. It is going to be the whole Division.
Well I guess I will close for this time, as I can't think of anything else to write about. I will try to write soon again.
All my love,
"Bert"
