career

So far, there is no information about his early career. He was probably a member of the criminal police during the Weimar Republic , in any case, in 1933 he held the rank of criminal councilor.

In 1933 Buhl was taken over by the Secret State Police . At the beginning of 1934 he can be verified as a field service leader in the Department III Gd (Secret Service Department) of the Secret State Police Office. On April 1, 1934, he was promoted to criminal director and appointed head of the Potsdam police station .

In 1935 Buhl became head of the Stettin criminal investigation department .

Buhl's whereabouts after 1945 are unclear: when the Berlin public prosecutor's office looked for him in 1969/1970 as a witness in connection with an investigation into Helmuth Unger in 1933, his whereabouts or the date of his death could not be determined. Only the information from his former colleague Rudolf Braschwitz that he died "a few years ago" in southern Germany could be obtained.
