John R. Hachen Letters to German Relatives
1935-1947
These letters, written by John Rudolph Hachen (father of Nephi Rudolph Hacken) were written to German relatives living before the war in Elbing, East Prussia and after the war in Kassel, Germany and in Vienna, Austria. They were collected by Hilda Nikl in Vienna -- her daughter, Gerlinde, made me aware of them during my visit there in October of 1999.
