Irving worked as | Irving Levi was born in Germany on 5 October 1920 to German-born parents and was naturalized in the United States. Before the Army he worked as a foreman supervising about sixty machinists making precision instruments for airplanes and time fuses; he had apprenticed in watchmaking in Europe and could read blueprints. He was fluent in German and typed in German and English. | ||
After engineer training at Fort Belvoir (October 1944) and infantry training at Camp Gordon (December 1944), he entered Camp Ritchie in February 1945 as a student in Class 27 (Counter Intelligence / CIC). Personnel cards record graduation around 5 April 1945 (certificate 10824; one card line reads “Class 87,” treated as a likely miswrite for Class 27). In late April 1945 he went on temporary duty to the University of Paris, later extended; he was alerted on 26 June 1945 and released from the station on 14 July 1945. His Personal History card lists organization 206 C.I.C. Detachment and an ETO remark. | |||
