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).

~~Through December 1943~~ he ~~collected foreign industrial intelligence for M.I.S. in Chicago. Later pages~~ of ~~his record include~~ a report dated 5 December 1944 on the ~~interrogation~~ of a prisoner of war recently released from the Philippines (September 1944); the interrogator named is Walter H. Hauboldt. The same record notes a staff-sergeant rank "for administrative purposes" while he worked as a civilian specialist under an APO San Francisco address.

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.
