The book references “Isadore Valentini a medic and former coal miner, sat in Hitler’s great room and drank the Fuhrer’s wine with his friends.” (page 349). This is my Father, he is still leaving in PGH, PA & will be turning 97 in January. As you know he wrote & published "Combat Medic" in 1999. The actual name is Isadore Valenti & I took him over to Berchtesgaden in 1999. He wanted to visit many of the places that he had photos of in WWII & surprisingly many of them still exist today but instead of German or American troops gathered around, there are shoppers, flowers, and children playing. So thanks for everything you do in keeping this part of history alive for everyone.
