Diaries

Wilhelm Hoffman: September 13, 1942

September 13. An unlucky number. This morning "katyushi" (Russian rockets) attacked caused the company heavy losses: twenty-seven dead and fifty wounded. The Russians are are fighting desperately like wild beasts, don't give themselves up, but come up close and then throw grenades. Lieutenant Kraus was killed yesterday, and there is no company commander.

George Beck: September 13, 1944

Another X-Ray photograph. Saw a couple of hundred bombers (ours) passing over today. Looked marvellous.
