All of my friends are getting sent to war, i don't want to go to war, i have a family to take care of i have two little brothers that are seven and eight and a little sister that is sixteen and my mom...my step dad got taken way because he was Jewish. My real dad past away in world war one , he got shot in the head. when he died i had to work two jobs and steel go to school. i cant go to war because i have to help my family,if i go to war my mom is not going to be able to feed my little brothers because of her job she has she works part time and she don't get allot of money .They sent me a letter saying that they are going to take me away on May tenth and send me to the battlefield on June 5.

I hope i come back home fast . Today some Nazi soldiers came into my house and took me away from my home , while i was getting taken away i saw some of my friends from my neighborhood
getting taken away too. My mom was trying to fight the soldiers off so they wouldn't take me away. but i told my mum that i was going to be okay and for her not to worried. But on my mind i was just wishing for me to be okay and come back home.When i got to the Military training camp i saw all of my friends and some other people my age that went to my school and some other guys. They all gave us each a number and that number will be the bed were we will be sleeping. I got my bed right next to my friend Adolf, Armin, Ozil. At least am close with some of my friends from school so i wouldn't be alone.

it was our last day of training last week , because they are going to send us to the frontier of the Normandy landings . The training was really hard they made me barf, because of all the running and lifting heavy equipment. right now me and my friends are in Normandy were by a beach. They told us that some other army was going to come. Right now were just waiting ,we are on top of a hill so we an get them easier because they are going to be down on the beach. I hope they don't come i don't want to die,or get shot like my dad who got shot on the head and past away. Right now am really panicking i don't think am going to be able to sleep tonight , because they are suppose to come any day now.
