Since he did not meet the expectations placed in him, Martin Bormann refused the planned promotion of Neuburg to deputy Gauleiter. Two inquiries made in 1943 by Gauleiter Fritz Bracht , who wanted to give Neuburg the post of his deputy, were refused by Bormann: "Only party members should be appointed as deputy Gauleiter if, in my opinion, they had what it takes to be Gauleiter". According to Bormann, Neuburg is "undoubtedly a very skilled man", but he does not think "clearly enough". As the successor to the shot Richard Donnevert , he was entrusted with the administration of the Deputy Gauleiter in the Sudetenland in autumn 1943 and remained in this position until the end of the war in May 1945. An intervention by Gauleiter Sudetenland Konrad Henlein to officially make Neuburg his deputy , was rejected, although in his opinion it had proven itself in practice.
