Spelling

According to the US Army Center of Military History, the name is spelled DALESSONDRO, but I've seen it spelled several different ways. I'd like some confirmation about his preferred speliing before moving the article. --Triskele Jim 17:11, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the image of his memorial plaque (in his article). Please check also, his gravestone (at the Find a Grave link). There can not be any doubt that the name was Dalessandro. "Dalessondro" is a mistranscription from the original records (on paper). The memorial plaque actually shows "DAlessandro". Alessandro is a common Italian given name (meaning Alexander) and many Italian family names derive from patronymic constructions like "Di Pietro" (meaning [son] "of Peter") or DeMatteo (meaning "of Matthew"). In case the name begins with a vowel, the preposition "de" or "di" is contracted with the name, sometimes separated by an apostrophe (although that is rather French style). Something like "DAlessandro" (with a capital vowel, and without apostrophe or space) I can't remember having seen anywhere else. Be that as it may, printed contemporaneous reliable sources give the name usually as "Dalessandro". See the Journal of the State Senate. I have moved the article already (some time ago) from Dalessondro to the correct Dalessandro. Kraxler (talk) 17:28, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. His obituary agrees. --Triskele Jim 01:11, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For whatever it's worth (ie not much), the memorial plaque near Albany airport naming the boulevard after him consistently uses the "DALESSONDRO" spelling. I'd be more inclined to believe his grave marker. -Joe Makowiec

Does anyone know if there is a possibility to learn the excact road junction and place. As I know the surrounding, its hilly and there are a few road juctions;) Kalerherberg had been evacuated and as I know there was no real fight in Kalterherberg itself. The fierest battles were in the neigbour village Höfen and in Imgenbroich up the hill above the city of Monschau. The people of Monschau and part of US Army stayed there and 5km from there some of the fierest battles of the war took place I would be very gratefull Greetings — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eifelochse (talk • contribs) 12:56, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If I had this info I would be able to make some photos from this place ;)
