Somewhere in Germany - May 28, 1945 - Just rain the last few days. Never ending.
Somewhere in Germany - July 5, 1945 - Tell ma I'm a little hazy as to whether that was hello or gooodbye I was saying to that girl [in the photo]. You were right about the blonde not being starved. You should see these European women. I didn't know women could work the way they do. They're as strong as a horse. We've seen them pulling plows! With tremendous flanks and powerful loins they work from dawn till dusk, and always eat first at meals- no exceptions. You know when they approach by the shadow that precedes them. Reminds me of the time back before slavery, when they used to just call it hard work. If the girls back home think they've got competition here, they're nuts.
Somewhere in Germany - July 7, 1945 - We've got a ballgame on again this afternoon. I thought I was getting too old for that stuff, but I guess I still play a pretty good game...helps the days go by.
