He held lectures on the “chemistry of warfare agents” and took part in the Luftwaffe's research projects in 1941/42 : “The effect of high altitudes on the metabolism of the liver, heart and striated muscles” and “The effect of general hypothermia on the metabolism of the Warmblood ”. Deuticke took part in the conference on “Medical Questions in Distress at Sea and Winter Death” on October 26 and 27, 1942, where a lecture was also given about the “attempts at hypothermia” in the Dachau concentration camp .

"[...] Our faculty here also hopes that the forthcoming trial in Nuremberg against German doctors will clarify that only a tiny number of doctors who acted on their own responsibility were guilty and that they must be punished accordingly but the German medical profession as such, according to its tradition and its inner conviction, is free of guilt and not to be burdened with accusations [...] "

- Deutike's statement on the Nuremberg doctors' trial on November 19, 1946
