Captured at Cherbourg during World War II service as a Wehrmacht lieutenant, Hallstein polished up his American vernacular in a P.W. camp in Mississippi. Conceded by all hands to be a skilled negotiator, he is a party-shunning bachelor who devotes twelve hours a day to his job and is held by many to be a dull fellow.
