Life
Betzendahl studied medicine and philology at the universities of Tübingen, Berlin and Freiburg. Since 1919 he was a member of the Corps Franconia Tübingen . After completing his studies, he was promoted to Dr. med. and in 1925 Dr. phil. PhD . He then completed his residency training as a psychiatrist and neurologist at the University Psychiatric Clinic of the Berlin Charité , where he became senior physician under Karl Bonhoeffer in 1939 . After his habilitation he worked there from 1936 as a private lecturer and from 1941 as an adjunct professor.
He joined the NSDAP after it came to power in 1933. During the Second World War , after the beginning of the German-Soviet War , he was an advisory military psychiatrist in the 9th Army from 1942 and then from April 1944 in the Army Group South Ukraine , most recently with the rank of senior field doctor.
