From 1919 he worked as a trade union official and as a party official for the SPD.

After the National Socialists came to power , Bitom was placed under police supervision from May to December 1933. Shortly before the end of the war, he was forcibly evacuated to Aussig in January 1945 . Two months after his expulsion in May 1945, he came to Bavaria as a displaced person and settled in Passau, where he continued his political work in the SPD.

In 1946 he entered parliament through the constituency of Niederbayern / Oberpfalz, in 1950 and 1954 through the constituency of Lower Bavaria (constituencies Griesbach and Vilshofen).
