Post-war he was senior Police official at Neunkirchen until the Allied authorities identified him as a former GFP commander following which he lost his position and was interned until 1947 but then quickly appointed Head of Kripo for the Saarland in April 1948 .

He was not an NSDAP member and not a member of the SS. I know he joined the Police in 1911, served 1914-18 in the Army, awarded EK2, resumed police career after the war and was promoted Krim-Kom in March 1927 but received no promotions until post-war as he was not in favour within the Third Reich as a non-Party Member and a Churchgoer.

thanks Peter
