Guest Rick Research Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'vge never seen Soviet Field Post before. One thing strikes me--no "passed by censor" stamps! I suppose servicemen in all armies soon learned what would go through and what wouldn't--so they just didn't write anything that would get inked out. But the stamp is usually still there to show the Censor was at least supposedly doing HIS job. My family's are stamped, from the American army.

You are mistaken Your letter has made bad mood . Your letter is not the answer to my letter. I have congratulated you on a holiday, but you have not answered .You should receive my other letter in October .Further in the letter very bad handwriting ..........We have released Zhitomir. How are you doing at Vladimir. Probably also goes forward. It is very glad. It is ready to kiss you. Yours faithfully M. Sokolov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteti Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Here is one of my WW2 letter... not on nice decorated paper like Sergey's ones, but still interesting.Written 11 February 1944 by Alexei Nikolayevich Ipatov to his wife Ekatarina Antonovna Ipatova in Leningrad. Ipatov who is now fighting more than 100km from Leningrad has well recovered from his wound. He writes that he was lucky that the bullet went near the top of his head. Otherwise, if it went lower, he would not be alive. His unit is progressing very rapidly and the 'Fritzes' (Germans) are running away so quickly that they can almost not get them. But when they surround and catch them, they are resisting fiercely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteti Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Written 9 June 1945 by Boris Emanuilovich Labkovekiy to his daughter Lida Borisovna Labkovekoy in Dniepropetrovsk to congratulate her for getting the "Best Worker of Sanitary Service" badge. Also discuss of arrangements for her to visit him in Dvinsk (now Daugavpils, Latvia). Sorry for the very poor quality... I had to resize it with Microsoft Editor... I am not on my regular computer and don't have other tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergey Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Very interesting letters. At you is even soldier's triangle. The main thing that in each of letters 43 the confidence of a victory already is heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
