from
Wikipedia
After Oxford, Arndt moved to Warsaw, Poland for graduate study, where he learned Polish and, later, Russian.
In 1939, after Hitler's invasion of Poland, he renounced his German citizenship, joined the Polish army, was captured by the Germans and, after escaping from a German POW camp, spent a year in the Polish underground, eventually making his way to Istanbul.
He worked for the Office of Strategic Services ( now the CIA ), and the Office of War Information where he forged Nazi documents and passes until the end of the war.
It was in Istanbul that he met and married Miriam Bach and had 2 sons ( Robert and David ) while teaching and studying at Robert College where he received a degree in mechanical engineering.
