WW2 Era Letter From Young Girl in Luxembourg to an American Officer She had Befriended.
This letter was written by Camille Storck, a young girl from Luxembourg who lived through World War II. During the later stages of the war, she and her family met an American Doctor, named George Edwin Pittinos with whom they formed a close bond. He was a Battalion Surgeon with the 4th Armored Division. After the war ended, they continued to stay in touch through letters. This is one such letter that she wrote to him. I haven’t found much information on Camille, but based on the content of the letter, I believe she was a teenager at the time. The letter reads:
“ Differdange, 23.11.1945
Dear Captain,
I got your friendly letter with the photos some time ago, and thank you very much for your kindness. We have school every day and we have to study very hard.
Just to-day we have the first holyday since September and I shall write you now.
First let us see how the time flew.
A year ago the Americans came to us, and one year later you scarcely can see an American soldier. The Americans did their work and duty very quickly, too quickly. They came, saw, conquered, and returned. Returned. Yes! We understand. But we miss you all. The time, we could meet, talk, and love you was so short. I am very sorry. You returned too, Captain, to your family.
But I hope, that I can write to you from time to time.
We never forget you, and we never will forget America.
My parents are quite in order. My brothers also.
We hope that you and your family is very well and that all is O.K.
You will hear from us, from time to time. Good luck to you Captain, or Doctor and to your family.
Camille “
George would pass away on September 9th 2003 aged 92.
