Description
Page 20: Letter to mother. Mail, change of plans, ideas for Kassman’s future. Description of a Jewish prayer service Kassman attended last Friday night with a new chaplain. Mention of the bombings of Innsbruck (Austria) and Bolzano (Italy) yesterday. Description of dinner and tagging along to a show by Carroll Richard Levis (Canadian radio host who was primarily active in the UK). Mention of the Africa Star (medal awarded for “clearing Africa of the Nazis”) – currently a big joke as the only ones to receive it so far were seemingly uninvolved in combat.
