He was subsequently taken to Berlin, where he was locked up in the police state hospital. The background to Blümel's arrest was a dispute with SS leader Günther Patschowsky in 1932: Patschowsky, then head of the SD in Silesia, commissioned Blümel in November 1932 to spy on the Silesian Gauleiter Hellmuth Brückner for the SD, which Blümel refused. 1934 - in the meantime Patschowsky served as head of the defense department of the Secret State Police Office in Berlin - Patschowsky used his position of power, which he had now acquired, to have Blümel arrested in order to get revenge on him for refusing to spy on Brückner at the time, and that he had reported this order to the SA chief of staff, Ernst Röhm , after he switched from the SS to the SA in the summer of 1933 .
