Correspondence to Virginia Webb, April 1945

In these letters to Webb; Schneider discusses the weather; traveling in the French countryside; and asks about Webb’s Easter plans. From there, he writes from “somewhere in Germany” and discusses the destruction of buildings; provides his opinion on countries he has visited such as France, Holland, Belgium, and Germany; reminisces about his time spent with Webb; speculates on when the war will end and when he will be able to go home; and talks about how much he misses music and movies. He also talks about his interactions with German citizens; his experiences during guard duty; asks Webb about her job; talks about receiving the news of F.D.R.’s death; meeting Russian soldiers; witnessing bombed out German vehicles; and going fishing. Finally he talks about meeting refugees; cooking; and how some of his experiences in combat have been difficult, but he is unable to elaborate.
