Yet how much more had been granted to me than I had lost! For one thing, I now possessed a second country with whose language and culture I was thoroughly familiar-a year's studentship at Westfield College, University of London, had given me an insight into English student life, while a series of lectures and war work of various descriptions brought me into contact with members of different social classes. But, above all, in November of 1939, I had found the Faith. (English)

As I had a good command of English, I decided to study English, mathematics, physics and philosophy at the University of Berlin, where we lived. Only I could not take my doctorate there, owing to my queer combination of subjects; so I went to Marburg for that. After six years I was proud possessor of the Prussian Diploma for Secondary School Teachers, taken in Berlin, and a Dr. phil. (Ph.D.) of the University of Marburg, with a thesis on the British post-war novel. (English)
