His Soldbuch is a replacement from February 27th, 1945 so his activity in the previous years of the war is unknown. On October 10th, 1944 he was admitted to a field hospital for unspecified wounds, which is possibly when his original Soldbuch was destroyed.

He was the recipient of a War Merit Cross, as well as two Sports Badges. His camp ID number was 82 in an internment and labour camp in Regensburg after the war. He also had  an ID stamped on December 12th, 1947 by the Compound Office of a civilian internment camp identifying his as a member of the camp post service.
