Douglas Theodore Fuller (1908–1976) was a Ritchie Boy (from United States; Protestant) who trained at Camp Ritchie in class 24.
Biography
Douglas stated that his war activities consisted mostly of spending nine delightful months at the University of Minnesota learning to speak incredibly good Swedish (that is a compliment for the Minnesota faculty, not me). The reason for it was and remains obscure.
Readjustment to civilian life was duck soup.
He trained at Camp Ritchie in Photo Intelligence. He was in both France and Germany with the 101st Airborne (May to September 1945).
