When he refused several times invitations to become a member of the Nazi party, which recruited accomplished people, he was put on the "black list" and no longer qualified for governmental contracts. After the war, he decided to leave Germany for the USA, saying that Europe would always be at war. He and the family were on one of the first trains from Cologne to Hamburg, to the American Embassy to apply for immigration for the family. The visas were finally granted after a five-year wait.
