He still registered for the final exams on May 27th, 1938 but was no more allowed to pass them. The examination procedure was interrupted and he could not finish his studies.
He could flee to Great Britannia in 1939 but was interned there as "enemy alien" and was deported to Australia with the ship HMT "Dunera". After his release he returned to England and became a teacher and Literature Historian.
