Excerpts from Sudy's obituary reveal that he was born just outside Prague and began his art studies in Berlin at the age of 9. At the outbreak of World War I, he was painting in Rome, when Bohemia, as part of the Austrian empire, went to war against Russia. Sudy would go on to become a captain in the infantry, but when his outfit was captured in the early fighting his unit was shipped to an internment camp in Siberia. As the only officer in the camp, he led a mass escape of 2,300 prisoners. From Siberia the group marched westward and two years later Sudy and four other survivors of the original group arrived in Turkey. There, Sudy painted pictures of veiled dancing girls for British sailors and eventually made enough money to finance a trip to the United States in 1921. Settling on Maryland's Eastern Shore, he began studying and painting wildlife. His works are now held in private collections throughout the US and in Europe. He counted among his close friends such financial greats as J. Pierpont Morgan, John J. Raskob, and George M. Offett
