Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei whitianga - I paahitia e Saling tana "Abitur" (te whakamātautau whakamutu kura) i mua atu ranei o te 1943, i nga wa noa ka whakatuwherahia te huarahi ki te whakauru ki te whare wananga, engari ko nga waa kaore i te rite. I waenga i te 1943 me te 1945 i whakauruhia ia mo te mahi hoia. I te tau 1945 i uru ia hei akonga rongoa i te Whare Wananga o Jena, i muri i te 1945
I kitea a ia ano e whakahaeretia ana hei waahanga o te rohe mahi a te Soviet (i whakahoutia i te Oketopa 1949 hei Soviet i tautokohia &lt;a href="German%20Democratic%20Republic"&gt;German Democratic Republic / East Germany) &lt;/a&gt;. I waenga i te 1945 me te 1952 i ako ia i Jena me Berlin.
