Junghans became president of the DDAC in 1938 and remained so until the end of the war. After the collapse, a president who had led an association under the Nazi regime was no longer acceptable as president, and so Junghans (who had also been a NSDAP member and NSKK standard leader) returned to the position of general secretary and administrative director of the ADAC, an activity that only ended with his death in 1962.
