March 28th 1945

Still more men come here from all over Germany, and there are more to come. Some have been on the road since Jan 20, lots have died on the way. Yesterday nine more past away, most of them have got (malnutrition) more food wanted which we cant get in this Stalag. In our ?layer there 5000 men in huts or tents, and we are sleeping two in a bed.
But the news is good and the boys are only 95 miles from here, so we may be out of here any day now. The air riads are on all day and night, and we are always looking at our map to see how near they are getting.
All the boys are talking about what they are going to do when they get home, some are getting married and some are going to eat all they can, some are going to have a big box of cigs and others a good time and no work.
Well, I know what i am going to do when I get home, and I wont write it down here.
