Major Bonacelli
Letzter Schnee von Das Reich; Kampfgruppe Peiper, 1944
Dear Elsa,
My battalion has been fighting in the Ardennes for weeks now attached to 1st SS Panzer Division's initial strike force under Joachim Peiper. These men are fools thinking we can still win the war. The Allies are falling back but the question remains for how long? Once they regroup and begin to fight back, this operation will have been a complete failure only wasting more men and resources we cannot afford to lose.
I can tell you by spring of next year, Germany will have fallen.
This will be the last snow of the Reich....
May God be with you,
Wilhelm
