Harry Perlman was born on 2 December 1917 in Bucharest, Romania. He entered active service on 9 November 1942 and was naturalized on 8 April 1943. He completed the 4th course graduation at Camp Ritchie on 6 March 1943 as an interpreter and interrogator in French and German.

Perlman graduated from the fourth course at the Military Intelligence Training Center, Camp Ritchie, on 6 March 1943. His military education record lists the French Interpreter course at Camp Ritchie in 1943 and Combat Intelligence at the American School Center in England in 1944. A 13 November 1944 ~~certificate places Technician Third Grade Perlman on~~ MII Team 403-G, ~~attached to the G~~-~~2 section of Third United States Army headquarters~~. ~~The separation record states that he was authorized to wear four battle stars~~ on ~~his European ribbon~~.

By November 1944 he was a member of MII Team 403-G. Service papers also place him with the 315th CIC on duty in April 1945, with promotion and travel orders through mid-1945. He separated at Fort Dix, New Jersey, on 12 December 1945.

Before and after his military service, Perlman worked in textiles. His separation record identifies earlier work as production manager and assistant manager at a textile firm in Bucharest and records additional study in textile engineering in Mulhouse, France.

He died on 11 February 1979.
