Unfortunately I don't know much more than that and he was fluent in 7 languages. He died about 15 years ago so I'm guessing most of his story went to the grave with him.
I think he was Latvian and after the war emigrated to Australia, married an Estonian(?) and became the most brilliant architect I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot!

I can only recall for sure he served with the Norwegians and Germans. The Czechs I think were another. No idea of the other two.
