Finally more details on the letter Dad wrote to the deceased gentleman's Dad and I will put it all together here:
Dear Sir Jan. 15, 1945
This is one of those letters we must
write and yet Sir it is very hard indeed.
Your son was a hero till the very end -
He was severely wounded and it was just
the element of time for no amount of (?medical)
science could have possibly changed the (?course)
of events. We have buried your son here
at Siegburg in the American Section
of a German Cemetery with some other American
boys who have found a greater peace than
seems to exist on earth. Some day when
this all is just a bitter memory I hope to talk
this over with you - and divulge the whole story.
We here at Lazarett Siegburg have grown very
fond of your son - and he was a son to be proud
--- You can imagine how proud I am of my Dad
