Marcel Horace Frydmann Prawy was born on 29 December 1911 in Vienna, Austria. He studied law and musicology, earned a doctorate, and worked as private secretary to tenor Jan Kiepura. In 1939 he left Europe for the United States by way of Italy.
 
Prawy entered the U.S. Army in 1943 and trained at Camp Ritchie (Class 12). He returned to Vienna in 1946 as a U.S. Army cultural officer.
