the refugee becomes the soldier for the very power opposing his homeland.

His military career started with his conscription into the U.S. Army, leveraging his native tongue within the Counter Intelligence Corps as both weapon and olive branch.

As a CIC operative, his fluency in German wasn't just a linguistic skill—it was potent tool in Kissinger's role as an intelligence gatherer.
