The War Diary of Heinz Reuppert

January 2, 1945 — had a New Year's Eve party, drank grapefruit juice. No German planes over for a while. Maybe we can get some sleep now.

February 3, 1945 — Haven't done much of anything lately. General gave a commendation. War just drags on and on.

March 1, 1945 — moved into Germany, Frankfurt-am-Main.

March 13, 1945 — Charlie shot through stomach, had to get him to hospital. Major operated. Said we just made it. Tough luck. I'll miss Charlie a hell of a lot.
