Before the beginning of the Second World War , he operated anti-Nazi activities. In 1938 he emigrated with his wife Marianne, b. Steinitz, first to Egypt with his Egyptian passport and then to the USA.

He worked with John Cockcroft and Walton on the sealing of discharge tubes. With Lise Meitner he led a priority dispute over the discovery of nuclear fission.
