George Beck: April 9, 1944
Easter Sunday Today we went for a walk as far as Monren and back. Quite enjoyed it. Last night the air raid alarm sounded and we had all to get out of bed, lasted from eleven to one. No news regarding war. Still waiting for second front and above all peace. In a bad way for cigarettes now no parcels are forthcoming, received last 10 November. Ten new men coming to work here shortly instead of five. Confirmed. Weather lovely.
