On October 1, 1939, he was drafted into the Army (Wehrmacht) , to which he belonged until July 3, 1945. From 1940 he studied medicine at the Military Medical Academy in Berlin . From July to December 1941 he was assigned to the war front in the German-Soviet War as a medical sergeant . After he had passed the Physikum in April 1942 , he was back at the front from July to December 1942. Here he was used as an assistant doctor. He was then able to continue his studies at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg , the Albertus-Universität Königsberg , the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main and the Silesian Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität . He passed the state examination in February and March 1945 at the University of Hamburg . Shortly before the end of the war, in April and May 1945, he was called in again as an assistant doctor for the war in the West. He was briefly captured by the French prisoners of war .

From August 1, 1945, Werner Grill worked for five years as an assistant at the Pathological Institute of the Ludwigshafen Clinic . There he was recognized as a specialist in pathology . After that, he worked at the surgical clinic of the same hospital for a year and a half. In 1952 Grill went to the Surgical University Clinic in Marburg under Rudolf Zenker as an assistant doctor . Five years later he became a specialist in surgery and trauma surgery and completed his habilitation. He was appointed private lecturer and senior physician.

In July 1965, Grill became chief surgeon at the Starnberg District Hospital . Here he worked successfully for twenty years, particularly in the field of abdominal surgery. Under his direction, 7000 biliary operations were performed at the clinic during this period, which earned him the nickname "biliary pope" among his patients.
