During World War II, he was assigned to the US Army Counterintelligence Corps (CIC) in London in 1942. He was "named head of counterintelligence in Paris and enter[ed] Dachau with the 45th Division in April 1945." In 1953, he became a radio stringer in Cairo, where he met up with "former CIC roommates from London, James Eichelberger and Miles Copeland Jr."
