== Biography ==
Hauboldt was an interrogator. Attached image is a page of his military record. I believe his record is only through late 1943 or into perhaps early 1944. Page 8 to the end of the document below shows a report of a recently released POW from the Philippines in September 1944. He was interrogated by Walter H. It was dated 5 December 1944.
Walter H. Hauboldt served as an interrogator and counterintelligence specialist. He was inducted on 24 July 1942 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, completed basic military-intelligence training through October 1942, and worked with the Counter Intelligence Corps, Headquarters, Sixth Service Command, Chicago, before attachment to Camp Ritchie (Class 7).
 
By late 1944 he was conducting interrogations of recently released prisoners of war from the Philippines; a report dated 5 December 1944 names him as the interrogator of a repatriated POW in that series.
