	~~''Add~~ a ~~biography~~, ~~family details~~, and ~~sources~~. ~~Click Edit~~ to ~~change this page; no account is required~~.''		Harvey Hale Dodge was born Helmut Deutsch in Vienna on 29 October 1912 into a Jewish family. After school in Vienna he spent two years at the Hochschule für Welthandel (University of World Trade), with training in English, French, bookkeeping, and civil law. He fled after the Anschluss: at the end of 1938 he was in Italy, until February 1939 in Paris, and probably then in Britain; according to Army records, from September 1939 to January 1940 he worked as a German translator for the British colonial government at a camp for enemy aliens in Delhi, India. He entered the United States in September 1940 and lived in San Francisco.

	== Research ~~notes ==~~		Deutsch was drafted at Monterey, California, in April 1941 under the name Hel(l)mut Deutsch and assigned to Battery B of the horse-drawn 74th Field Artillery Battalion at Fort Ord, California, where he took basic training and from July served as a driver. In November 1941 he was briefly transferred to the reserve; recalled to active duty in San Francisco in February 1942, he rejoined Battery B, 74th Field Artillery Battalion, stationed in the Southern Land Frontier Sector in Arizona, was detached to the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, and from April worked as a clerk at its headquarters. In May 1942 he joined Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the Southern Land Frontier Sector, and by October the Western Defense Command at Camp Lockett, California. In January 1943 he was transferred to the Military Intelligence Training Center at Camp Ritchie, where he attended [[:Category:Class 5\|Class 5]] with a focus on aerial photographic intelligence (section 1A; certificate 1252).
	* OSS
			Around mid-1943 Dodge was sent to the Army Specialized Training Program at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis (ASTU 3700), and in October 1943 he was transferred to the Office of Strategic Services in Washington, D.C., where he trained and served in the Research and Analysis Branch with a focus on North Africa and Southern Europe, from February 1944 in R&A (US). In November 1944 he went overseas to London, where the OSS Field Photographic Branch attached him to the headquarters of the Ninth Air Force for aerial reconnaissance and as liaison to the SHAEF Photographic Project. From December he served in France, and in early 1945 with the Research and Analysis Branch of the 2677th OSS Regiment in the Mediterranean Theater. In October 1945 he was assigned to the Interim Research and Intelligence Service, and in December 1945 he was discharged at Fort Meade, Maryland, as a staff sergeant; his grave marker gives his rank as technical sergeant. He died in Virginia on 27 August 1995.
