MI-NCO Theodore Rogers (a.k.a. Teo Rosenberg) (January 17, 1921- November 1971).  In 1937, Teo — a sixteen-year old boy of Jewish ancestry — left Rosenthal, Germany for NYC, unaccompanied, to escape Nazism. After entering service on 2/24/1943, G-2 (Military Intelligence) detached Teo from Engineers Amphibian Command Camp to retrain as a Military Intelligence NCO (a "Ritchie Boy"). 

Days before deployment, he naturalized. On the naturalization certificate, he anglicized his name. Thereafter, he was assigned to an "IPW team" (Interrogator of Prisoners of War) and G-2 attached him to the 11th Regiment of the 5th Infantry Division. 

As an "Interrogator of PWs", Teo gathered intelligence which commanders utilized to avoid casualties. Teo persuaded PWs (Prisoners of War) to divulge enemy positions and weaknesses. While Teo carried a carbine and pistol, his main weapons were his wit and cigarettes.

Teo saved lives by persuading the encircled enemy to surrender. At Metz, December 1, 1944, Teo and his team Captain entered Fort St. Quentin to negotiate its surrender. In the Ruhr Pocket and Czechoslovakia, Teo parleyed with Wehrmacht and Panzer Commanders. He aided Yiddush speaking survivors of the S.S. "Death March" in Volary, Czechoslovakia. Sergeant Rogers also helped convict War Criminals at Nuremberg.
