== Biography ==

Born in Spadola, Italy in 1921, Ritchie Boy Mangiardi emigrated to the United States in 1939. ~~Fluent~~ in multiple languages, he was sent to Camp Ritchie for training in military intelligence. -More- Fluent in several languages when he entered the military, he became part of a Military Intelligence Unit that operated throughout Europe during World War

Born in Spadola, Italy in 1921, Ritchie Boy Mangiardi emigrated to the United States in 1939. Worked in currency exchange (Post Office) and as laborer.

In a story written in August 2016 about RB Mangiardi's experience at Camp Ritchie, he said that, "during the intense eight week session, all ranks of soldiers studied together morning to night, learning such things as signal intelligence training and interrogation techniques. 'At that age, it was not difficult,' Mangiardi says. 'I found it very interesting.' "We had to know what kind of plane was coming from the engine noise. We had to learn to recognize a soldier from the uniform,” Mangiardi says. “We had to know how to behave and how to get information.” He traveled to an Army base in Oregon to teach American soldiers how to act in case they were taken prisoners. “Say only your first name, last name and serial number,” he taught them.
