Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tau 1944, i muri i tana paahitanga i te whakamātautau whakauru e tika ana, i whakawhiwhia a ia ki tetahi waahi akonga i te Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. I mua i te wa i taea ai e ia te tango, i whakauruhia ia mo te mahi hoia, ka tukuna ki te whakauru ki tetahi ope maunga i Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Whai muri i te mutunga o te pakanga i te marama o Mei 1945, kaore e taea te whakahoki mai ki te kainga ki Silesia, na te puranga iwi o te 1944/45. I mohiotia a Landeshut, tae noa ki tenei wa he rereketanga iwi, na tona ingoa Polani, ko Kamienna Góra, a ka whakanohoia e nga Poari i peia mai i te rawhiti o Poland i whakauruhia e te Soviet Union me nga kainoho mai i te pokapū o Poland. I nekehia a Breiter ki Salzburg, koinei tana kaainga mo te toenga o tona oranga. I runga i te ture, he tangata kore whenua ia. I te tau 1946 i uru ia ki te whakamātautau whakauru mo te Whakauru Toi Pai i Salzburg. He whakaritenga tēnei mō tana whakaaetanga noho me te tono whai muri mo te tangata whenua. Kaore i tino marama mai i nga putake mena i whakawhiwhia ia ki tetahi waahi akonga: kaore ia i uru ki te whare wananga o Salzburg.
