How common was it for WW1 Austro-Hungarian soldiers to be multilingual or at least being able to understand some words from other languages/basic commands?
Are there studies or know examples? I know my great great grandfather came back and was able to speak Russian, Hungarian, German and Romanian, our neighbours aunt got married in the late 50s to a british soldier who was stationed in Munich after WW2 and he was able to converse with him in german all those years later.
