His seniority was set at October 1, 1934. He was also appointed commander of the III. Battalion from the Tübingen Infantry Regiment.

His only son died in the 35th Infantry Regiment on July 10, 1942 in the Orel area. In the battle for the city of Krasnodar in the summer of 1942, he distinguished himself with his regiment, for which he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross as a colonel on September 3, 1942. On August 1, 1943 he was then appointed commander of the Army Weapons School of the 6th Army.
