The third part of the series Artists on the Radio , published in 1934, identifies him as chief reporter for the German broadcaster.

His television report on the experiences of legionnaires in Spain met with particular enthusiasm from his colleague Kurt Wagenführ . He wrote in the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung :

“Fred Krüger spoke to a number of officers from the various branches of service who reported on their experiences in Spain. This broadcast lasted a whole hour, it was exciting from the first to the last moment and well structured in stories, explanations in front of a card, musical insertions and songs of legionnaires' songs. It was especially nice to see how the camera slowly slid over the faces of the singing legionnaires and, so to speak, brought us very close to the men who had given their lives for months and years to develop an idea. We would be happy to get to know more of these men; In the near future, the program operation can bring an experience report every evening in its time service. We would like to listen to a program 'The Legionnaire Told'. "

Krüger was registered in Berlin-Charlottenburg in the mid-1930s , at that time as a radio employee, and from 1937 onwards at Karlsruher Straße 10 in Berlin-Halensee , in 1937 still with the job title of editor, from 1938 as a radio reporter. He died in 1950.
