Walter is returning from his first R & R since the war began...Paris!  In just over a week after writing this letter Walter is back with his unit and Germans begin the Ardennes Offensive, The battle of the Bulge.  19,000 allied troops would die in the next few weeks with over 23,000 MIA or captured as the Germans seek to drive the allies back.
