Live and act

Loose was born in 1908 in Köpenick near Berlin as the son of a medical officer who died in 1916 in the First World War. After attending secondary school, Loose completed a commercial apprenticeship. He then worked as an employee at a Berlin trust company. Since his youth, Loose was active in circles of the extreme political right. In this way he found connection to the NSDAP and its youth organization, the Hitler Youth (HJ), at the end of the 1920s . From 1931 to 1932 Loose was a consultant for youth people in the Hitler Youth area of Greater Berlin .

In September 1932 Loose was appointed as the successor to Elmar Warning as Hitler Youth area leader in Berlin. Around 1933 Loose was entrusted by Baldur von Schirach with the management of the administrative department in the Reich Youth Leadership . In this capacity he worked out the filing system of the Hitler Youth. In June 1933 he was raised to the rank of HJ-Obergebietsführer.

According to a report by the SPD abroad ( Sopade ), Loose was removed from office by Schirach on June 15, 1934, because he had paid himself a salary of 1,000 RM per month and his friends similarly high salaries without the permission of the Reich Youth Leader  . According to another source (Kathrin Kollmeier), Loose was subsequently excluded from the Hitler Youth and the party and sent to a concentration camp with a note in the NSDAP's warning files .
