Ooh, good idea! I just checked his reassignment request from 1944 and YES he did list Spanish as a language he could speak. This is what it says: "Language: Fluent Hungarian, English; Fair German, French, and Spanish." So it sounds like after 6 months in Mexico, he had basic fluency.
Did he learn Spanish eventually? Was it one of the languages he spoke according to his OSS profile?

I only know the stories you told . . . maybe Tommy knows some?
