Here is a description of the image:

The image is a scan of a typed letter in German. The letterhead identifies the sender as "Jost Stenger," with the address "4 Düsseldorf, Jülicherstr.76" and the date "25.3.1971" on the right.

The letter is addressed to "An den Verteidigungsminister H. Schmidt" (To the Minister of Defense H. Schmidt) in "Bonn." The subject line is "Betr.: Stehendes Heer" (Subject: Standing Army).

The body of the letter begins with a formal greeting, "Sehr geehrter Herr Minister!" (Dear Mr. Minister!). The sender then states that on March 17, 1971, they established "Iooo ooo Jost Stengers" between Frankfurt-Main and Düsseldorf, and that the "Stammrolle" (roll) is available for viewing at "Edition Kölling, 6 Frankfurt-Main Wolfsgangstr.96". The letter then states the purpose of the "Stehendes Heer" is to ensure that all existing armies are subjected to reasonable paralysis.

The letter concludes with the closing "Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ihr" (Sincerely) and is signed "J. Neuge" in blue ink.

The image is a close-up of the letter, and the text is clear and legible. The paper appears to be slightly yellowed.
