Скачать или смотреть German Folk Magic on a Union Battlefield: Was This Letter Really Bulletproof?

Four years of the Civil War.

Not a scratch. Because of a letter. 📜
Justus Altmiller carried something into battle that wasn’t a Bible, a photo, or a letter from home.

It was a “Letter from Heaven.” German folk magic, passed down from his grandmother, promising that bullets would miss and cannons would stand still wherever it was found.

Bull Run. Petersburg. Five Forks.

Six hundred thousand Americans dead.

One union soldier walks out without a scratch… still believing that letter saved his life. The wild part? The letter is real. The National Park Service still has it: faded German script, mysterious initials no one can fully translate.
Was it just superstition?

Or did this strange lucky charm change the way one man moved through hell?

Would you carry something like this into war? ⚔️

Belief, fear, and magic collide on real American battlefields.
