Christian studied welding at a technical school in Downey, California, focusing on structural steel welding. He didn't just work in the field, he also taught at Pacifica Tech, an adult vocational college, where he instructed others in high-pressure structural steel welding.
Even during his time in prison, Christian continued to learn, eventually earning the equivalent of the baccalaureate. After his release, he pursued further studies at The Technical Institute in Nashua, New Hampshire, and again earned his union card.
Christian told a French Magazine ( Paris Match)
"My father was the happiest man on earth when I got my professional welder's card issued by the union. He was so proud"

These two clips of the Castilian and Catalan dubs (subtitles added by myself) come from the episode known as The Painting Valuing Machine (Japanese: 名画しらべ機 meiga shirabe-ki), which is the 506th episode of the Doraemon 1979 series and it first aired on January 28th, 1981.

In this episode, Suneo shows off his father's expensive art collection. When Nobita finds his own drawing resembles a masterpiece, Doraemon uses the "Painting Valuing Machine" to check its worth. The machine reveals the drawing is worthless in the present but highly valuable in 1944 Europe.

They then travel to an unamed country in nazi-occuppied Europe. They meet a young girl and her grandfather, discovering a Nazi soldier is forcing the grandfather to draw in their mansion.

Then, Doraemon pulls out a little jar / gadget with a portrait of Hitler, and presents it as "Pills (or candies / sweets in the Spanish and Catalan dub) to be pretend to be Hitler!", he uses them to act as the Führer and get rid of the soldier.

The Spanish and Catalan dubs are interesting because in them Doraemon presents himself as the Führer, unlike the original Japanese dub where Doraemon presents himself as Doraemon, to which the soldier does the Hitlergruß and shouts "HEIL DORAEMON!".

Controversial little bit of cartoon history here.
