Thessaloniki [Salonika], Greece

23 November 1952
"I have not been over here in Greece either as I just can't see going over here in such a place. I know that I will probably never get the chance to be over here again as long as I live...there is not much to do except to go in the bars and drink and the houses of "ill fame". And you know I don't indulge in either of them....Some of these married men must not have any feelings toward their wife at all...Well I am sure glad that I have a good wife like you to be loyal to when I am away from you."
Buss Gerdes during World War II
