Featured WWII Love Letters To Helene

As the mother of 2 soldiers who have been to war, I understand his fears, his writings are evident he is scared & justifiably so. I await the next letter!

 

...and if her letters slowed down, or stopped entirely...hoo boy.

 

I am on pins and needles!
I wish we could read Helene's letters, too.

 

What does IWIWI mean on the envelope?

 

I had an uncle who went to war and his sweetheart back home dumped him. So sad! Hope this has a happier ending.

I don't know...thinking I Will I Will I Will
marry you?

 

Sorry, guys, hectic day yesterday, but today I am posting the next two letters in the series. They are a bit longer.
Letter # 10

 

Letter # 11

 

Oho - he's Protestant, she's Catholic. Back in the day that was a Problem. My great-grandparents had to get married in a courthouse for the same reason. No church would have them. Didn't stop them though, and I bet Herm and Helene either. Sounds like Herm was taking Instruction.

 

I am in awe of these letters what a gift you have found! (I hope)

 

A Guy Named Joe. Anyone who wants to can watch it on the Internet Archive!

I will watch it, thanks!

 

A big time gap between letters 11 and today's #12

 

Awww, so she was seeing someone else back home and someone besides her told him about it. Poor Hermy,

 

He got dear-Johnned and still wants her to keep writing because he still likes getting the letters. Beats finding out the hard way later, I guess.

 

Oh no, my heart hurts for him. Im hoping this turns out to be a better ending…I anxiously await. This is worse than waiting for Christmas.

 

Oh no, this is not what I was expecting!

 

Oh no! I was so wishing for a happily ever after story.
