[German > English] A letter from my grandmother, hoping to find out what happened to her child's father circa 1947

I have just received a dream for my genealogical research for my fathers side. All of it was in German. For many of the documents it is easy enough for me to use DeepL and get a good understanding of what is there. However, the there is a letter that I would like assistance with. Partially because it is German, but also handwriting can be difficult to read even when you know the language and I thought it would be easier to ask for help.

Context: my fathers father was a foreign worker from Yugoslavia, Ecka specifically. He would refer to himself as Romanian often in other documents that were received. He worked in Germany from 1941 to his death in a camp in 1945. He may or may not have ever known he was about to be a father; sadly he would have died some time around his 20th birthday.

I have been told this letter is from my fathers mother, looking for details on what happened to him. I am hoping to have a full translation not just the gist of the letter. I really appreciate the time anyone takes on helping someone out.

Here is a high quality PDF of the letter: [https://severedrubbing.com/reddit/four.pdf](https://severedrubbing.com/reddit/four.pdf)
