From 1934 he worked at the Charité under Georg Magnus . From March 1935 to 1936 he was the second surgeon after Karl Brandt on the staff of Adolf Hitler's attending physicians. In Berlin he completed his habilitation in 1936 with the text Physical-Technical Investigations on Broken Bones . Under Paul Rostock he was employed as a senior physician at the Berlin University Clinic in Ziegelstrasse.

In the last days of the Battle of Berlin in April 1945 he worked as a doctor in the public bunker near the Reich Chancellery . On April 29, he was ordered to the Führerbunker to assist Ludwig Stumpfegger in poisoning Hitler's dog Blondi . He then returned to the public bunker and was there by soldiers of the Red Army , together with the dentist and member of the Waffen-SS Helmut Kunz , who was involved in the murder of the Goebbels children , and two nurses, Erna Flegel and Liselotte Chervinska , captured. On May 6, he was among those selected by Soviet authorities to identify the bodies of Joseph Goebbels , his wife Magda Goebbels, and their six children.
