He was enrolled last in the fall term 1937/38 at the Philosophical School in the 3rd year of his studies and took courses in Ancient History and Classical Philology. In 1938, after the takeover of power of National-Socialism he was forced to quit his studies for racist reason and to leave the University of Vienna. He had to flee Vienna and was able to emigrate to England/Great Britain, but in 1939 he was interned as an enemy alien in Kitchener Camp, Richborough, Sandwich, Kent.
