Leopold completed a German Honours course at the New England University College of the University of Sydney in 1942. The campus would later become the University of New England, effectively making him an alumnus of both universities.
He went on to serve in Australian Special Intelligence and later joined the Department of External Affairs.
In 1946 he joined the German Department of the University of Sydney as academic staff, and in 1947 became head of German at Queensland University.
He travelled extensively in Europe, especially Germany and spent time living there. In 1973 he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for his services to the study of German in Australia.
