Post-war
Popski was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel and became the British-Russian liaison officer in Vienna before demobilisation, naturalisation and achieving fame as a British writer and broadcaster.
He died in London in 1951 of a brain tumour, having lived long enough to see his book Private Army become a best-seller. Popski is buried in Wixoe Church cemetery in Suffolk alongside his second wife Pamela Firth.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
