Dan Gross confirmed him as a Ritchie Boy from Camp Ritchie personnel-card research but did not find him on surviving IPW / Order of Battle / MII team lists; his post-Scotland assignment remains uncertain (team duty, other intelligence work, or transfer to another German-speaking unit such as OSS, CIC, or ALSOS are among the possibilities Gross noted).
