He was then transferred to a camp in Borissow , where he worked as a peat cutter until August 1946. Since Guse was a top worker , he was then transferred to a tractor factory in Minsk , where he worked as a brigadier in civil engineering until September 1947, later as a member of the Antifa camp management and youth propagandist.

After his return from captivity in 1947, he worked as a book printer again and then from 1948 to May 1950 as a department head in the Central German printing house in Haldensleben.

Guse then worked until May 1964 as the second secretary of the SED district leadership in Magdeburg .
