Corporal Gunter's Diary (October 1942)

October 1942

My name is Gunter and I am a corporal in the German Army. Today s the day we have all been waiting for, the day we will be en route to the Eastern Front. The past six months was hectic beyond measure, with training at the Stablak Centre in East Prussia. Training is now finally over and we are now full fledge front line soldiers.

I am now on board a train along with 300 freshly trained privates, but no one knows which front line we are heading to. Here I sit penning my new diary with the fields of Russia passing by, like a window of moving pictures.

Off we go towards a new era, a bright new future! :)

Heil Hitler!
Gunter
