When he landed, he killed his teammate and surrendered to the Germans, who recruited him. From 1942 to 1945, he commanded the Abwehrguppe-312 in operations against Soviet partisans. He held an NCO rank in the German army and received medals. At the end of the war, he was held in the Zedelheim, Belgium POW camp, and later lived in the British zone of Germany.
