This blog is a place for the letters that Corporal Max Blazzard wrote home to his family during his service in WWII, and a few that they wrote to him.

October 5, 1945


Munich, Germany

October 5, 1945
My Dearest Carol,

             I had a letter from Mama the other day and she said that you were picking cotton after school. She said you just worked and worked but those son-of-a-guns wasn’t paying you very much for all that work. So I decided you should get a little extra money for working so hard and going to school too. You never can tell when a feller might feel like stopping at the drug store for a soda.

            What are you doing in school now? I think that little German kids are going to school here now. When we walk down the street all the kids ask us for candy and gum. They do that in all the countries over here. I will be glad to get back and be home with you girls. Sometimes I get to thinking how I used to tease you kids and right away I get home-sick. You and Roberta have grown so much that you will be teasing me instead of me you when I get back.

            What do you do on weekends when you’re not at school? Do you go to the show lots? I guess I will have to go to school to see Rosalie cause she is going to school now.

            It is raining here now. I think I will stop and go to the show this afternoon. I am tired of laying around here. Now if I can just get a jeep, I won’t have to ride the street cars. How would you like to ride in a jeep? I do all the time.

            Bye for this time Carol. Write and tell me what you are doing.
Lots of Love,
Max
