He was part of the Swedish water polo team and won a silver and a bronze medal. In the 1908 Olympics he competed in the 200 metre breaststroke event. Gumpel was also a member of the board of Svenska simförbundet (Swedish swim federation) between 1919–1931. Gumpel had a short relationship with Greta Garbo〔(Garboforever )〕 before she moved to Hollywood. They kept in touch as friends for the rest of their lives. She was a frequent guest of Gumpel's when visiting Sweden. Max Gumpel was involved in espionage during World War II with his friend Eric Erickson. With their help the allied powers got the exact locations of Germany's petroleum refineries which were then bombed.〔(News article about Eric Erickson )〕 A book was written about this and a movie, ''The Counterfeit Traitor'' (1962) was made with William Holden as Eric Erickson〔(New York Times )〕 and Ulf Palme as Max Gumpel. Gumpel had a strong interest in boats and cars. He owned the motorboat ''Laila'' and a Skerry Cruiser – ''La Liberté'' 1934 designed by Erik Salander – both built at Kungsörs Båtvarv AB in Sweden. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Max Gumpel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
