UPDATE: Yesterday, I posted a picture of the interrogation of Maj. Gen Hans Goebbels, older brother of NAZI propagandist, Joseph Goebbels. I asked whether anyone could identify the interrogator? Was he a Ritchie Boy? Eagle-eyed follower Steve Goodell notified us that the interrogator was Ritchie Boy Captain [[Levy, Edward (01824201)|Edward Levy]], 94th Division C.I.C., 15th U.S. Levy, from Denver, Colorado, 1909-2001, ASN 01824201, graduated from the 18th Class at Camp Ritchie. Steve also provided a scan of the interrogation scene from the National Archives. Special thanks to Dan Gross for his research into RB [[Levy, Edward (01824201)|Edward Levy]]'s service at Camp Ritchie.
