    That's like staring into oncoming headlights from the contrast.

    It's from Sch?tze C Droste of 1st Machine Gun Company/ Infantry Regiment 16

    to a Herrn Fr. Droste in Kevern, Kreis L?bbeceke, Bezirk Minden

    on 11.11.18

    and starts out with he's well and hopes same by you,

    something about the last three days and retreating in Belgium...

    but this is just blinding me. Maybe in daylight and not flaring out into a dark room.

    Yes, but yours came out more vivid and lifelike.

    But have learned that I can sometimes tweekify things with the old black and white setting. :rolleyes:

    I guess my computomasheen has "subjective vision" just like I do. :rolleyes:

    My dear ones

    I am still happily very well

    and the same I hope also

    for you. Found myself the last 3 days

    in Belgium retreating, thought

    these days we'd be relieved

    and (scrawled word) right back.

    Have this day 2 letters

    received, according to which you've been

    3 weeks without mail (from me).

    Am still happily well

    and in good health (as in, in one piece) in Belgium

    Greetings from Christian

    11 AM must have come as a complete surprise. Maybe the false alarms were more than he could hope for any longer. Because when this was written, the war had not ended yet.
