Dear Comrade Sponsel,
Almost three months ago I assembled an album for you, which is intended to be on the
one hand a souvenir of the Youth Camp at Schongau, and on the other hand a token of our gratitude.
Regrettably, in recent days and weeks I have not had a single day available, not even a Sunday, to be able to travel to Schongau and personally deliver the album to you.
Following on the days of the leadership training at Sonthofen Castle, this collection of pictures should revive old memories from the summer of 1937.
Heil Hitler!
