Temporary retirement

In January 2006 Dieter received the news that Lieutenant General Jürgen Ruwe , Deputy Inspector of the Army , and he were to be put into temporary retirement. The reason for this was disciplinary investigations into right-wing radical incidents against his son Ruwes, who studied at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Hamburg . Dieter, to whom the university was subordinate to troops, had passed on unauthorized confidential information about the status of the preliminary investigation to Ruwe in October 2005. On the evening of January 27, 2006 Dieter, like Ruwe, was put into temporary retirement on the basis of Section 50 Soldiers Act by the Federal Minister of Defense Franz Josef Jung in the presence of the Inspector General Wolfgang Schneiderhan. Dieter, like Ruwe, took legal action against this dismissal and tried unsuccessfully for rehabilitation.
