Private Adler’s Happy Ending Story: After 76 Years Trace The Children He Found During WWII

“There is an 83-year-old man who needs to talk to you. It’s of Photography“. The writer got the message Matteo Uncertain (author of “The Indians who liberated Italy”) who relaunched the call of the 96-year-old American soldier Martin Adler and daughter Rachelle: the search for the three childrenfall 1944 found in a basket has its happy ending. Adler, who fought for a long time during World War II the gothic line, found the three children in a house in the province of Bologna with their comrade in arms John bronsky and I gave them a little chocolate. Today, after three days of calls and word of mouth on social networks, the three children could be given an identity: they are Bruno, Mafalda and Giuliana Naldi and they have 83, 81 and 79 years. And, after Incerti joined them, they were able to speak to Adler through a video call.

After receiving the message, Incerti tells on Facebook that he has contacted the Naldi brothers: “Moved, I call Mr. Bruno Naldi, born in 1938, on the phone. he tells me that he recognized himself in the photo and remember the Americans at their home in a village of Monteverzio in the Bolognese Apennines. It is a succession of emotions. He tells me about his sisters Mafalda and Giuliana, born in 1938 and 1941. They are also alive! Mafalda was immediately recognized in that photo bounced by Tg1, online and their newspapers after my publication. They all live in Castel San Pietro where they moved in 1953. Giuliana remember that big basket where they hid for fun. They remember the chocolate given to them by the soldiers of the 339th Regiment of the US 85th Division. They were in a town of Monterenzio in the autumn of 1944. A peace blow in the hell of the Gothic Line ”. So insecure that he called Adler: “Martin exclaims: Greaaaattttt! Then as soon as he connects with all of us across the ocean beyond time and borders: he greets them by name and goes over the few words he learned 76 years ago… Hello kids! Do you want chocolate? Like then. It is a fairy tale. A fable of life born in the darkness of war. In these dark moments of our time perhaps we all need it a little to find human warmth and love. And he closed with thanks for the word of mouth that made it possible to find the three children: “Moved and happy with Martin and Rachelle I would like to thank the tens of thousands of people who have been involved in this since Saturday beautiful treasure hunt“.
