Today’s postcard from soldier Erich Zerzawy is the only one I have before he was captured and was sent as a prisoner of war to Siberia. The postmark gives us no information about where he was serving.

14. July.16.

My dear ones!

My card today is written in the presence of the enemy. We have been in the position since last night. I am doing great. The excitement and familiarity are a thing of the past. It’s a strange feeling to be in the position, but for me there’s also pride and confidence. I’ll try to write to you every day so you won’t worry. One thing I am glad about is that now I will get news from you again. Greet all those who ask about me and my best to you. Sincere kisses

Erich
