"Fritz" was raised in Sheboygan, graduated from the University of Wisconsin and worked for General Electric before serving in World War II as an Army intelligence officer, analyzing the order of battle of the German Army and helping the British at Bletchley Park, in their project to break the German "enigma" code. After the War, Fritz joined the newly created CIA as one of its charter members. Throughout the Cold War, he worked to analyze and interpret intelligence gathered with regard to the Soviet Union.
