Fritz Lustig

Fritz Lustig (31 March 1919 – 18 December 2017) was a German-Jewish emigrant to Britain during the Nazi era.

Lustig was born on 31 March 1919. He arrived in the United Kingdom in April 1939. His parents later left Germany for Portugal; his brother, Ted, to the United States, for whom he fought during the war. He then enlisted in the British Army's Pioneer Corps, playing cello in its orchestra, but was transferred to the Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (CSDIC) in 1943, where he eavesdropped on captured Axis officers at Latimer House and Wilton Park in Buckinghamshire, known then as "No 1 Distribution Centre" and "No 2 Distribution Centre" respectively.

After rising to Regimental Sergeant Major, he was demobbed in June 1946. He subsequently worked in accountancy and credit control.
