In February 1934 he became an employee in the Reich Audit Office of the NSDAP, where he worked as Reichsoberrevisor. A few days after the Röhm affair , in the course of which large parts of the leadership cadre of the Sturmabteilung ( SA ) were liquidated or arrested, Damson became the head of the administrative office of the supreme SA leadership on July 4, 1934 and at the same time was provisional with the office of treasurer entrusted to the Supreme SA leadership.

In addition, there were tasks as senior service manager of the NSDAP, representative of the Reich Treasurer in the Committee for HJ Home Procurement and, since January 13, 1942, as representative of the Reich Treasurer in questions of ethnicity.
