All 75 letters have been transcribed from digitized images of the original letters, V-Mails and cards Hubert wrote. The Table of Letters, (see Link above) shows each letter in its original handwritten form as well as a typed, easy to read version. There is also a search bar for finding stories about local Freistatt events and people. The typed transcriptions have edited some of Hubert's missing punctuation and small "typos". Added words and explanations are italicized and in brackets for additional clarity.


Hubert wrote an incredible amount of letters, at times almost every day. He wrote to his girlfriend, his sisters and brothers, and his parents, sharing his daily experiences.
