After the surrender, he was interned in a POW camp Oflag VII-A, for Polish officers in Murnau, until the end of the war. There, he managed to gather parts that were used to construct a simple radio receiver, which allowed the prisoners to communicate until the camp’s liberation by the Allied Forces. After the war he taught at the University of Communications Technology and supported the 1968 student demonstrators. Due to his uncompromising attitude he was only appointed professor in 1974.
