Did he really speak
three (that I caught) languages? Pretty impressive for an uneducated man!
That's my new favorite camel.

He makes the claim himself, early in the movie. Then in the special features, he (the actual person, not the actor) mentions it again. His father sent him to Cuba when he was 14, and that is when his formal (school) education ended.
That's my new favorite camel.
As you yourself point out he was sent to Cuba as a child, so basically he spent a lot of his early years in foreign countries, and you still wonder how he learned three languages? :)
shareI do not think pre-WW2 Cuba was particularly English and German language friendly.

No, but he did meet and befriended a German prior to the war. Together they crossed the Andes.
It`s far easier to start a war than to end one.
Are you claiming that only educated people can speak more than one language? When I was on a bus in Rome a beggar came on and she asked for money in Italian, Germna, English and French. Needs must.
shareThe OP is too thick-headed to understand that finishing secondary school isn't the be all and end all of education. He'd travelled extensively when he was younger, he was a brilliant saboteur and soldier, making his own luck and a successful businessman after the war. He'd educated himself in the ways of the world and clearly passed with high distinctions.🐭
