From 1940 to 1945 he worked on behalf of the SS-Ahnenerbes as an archivist and officer for archive protection in South Tyrol , whereby he increasingly approached an "ethno-political (n) perspective" in the sense of the National Socialist understanding of science. Huter joined the NSDAP on July 1, 1940 ( membership number 8.225.291).

As early as 1938, Huter had completed his habilitation for Austrian history in Vienna; In 1941 he was appointed associate professor for the history of the Alpine region and economic history at the University of Innsbruck (then the German Alpine University ), where he was appointed university professor in 1958. In 1966, Huter retired, but remained the honorary director of the university archive he set up until 1983. Since 1959, Huter was also a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences ; he was also the president of the Altkaiserjägerklub am Bergisel in Innsbruck.
