Later life.

Surprised to see this key Nazi survived the war. However, there is no section on his later life. 86.135.11.52 (talk) 11:05, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, that was my reaction as well. Unfortunately, I could not find any sourced evidence as to what happened to him post-war. Post-war, the German Wikipedia has him working as legal consultant/officer for Oberndorf am Neckar and Mauser but provides no citations. According to the German Wikipedia he died in Tübingen, but again, no source is provided. Dr. K. 01:47, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The German page connects Tübingen to Note 1 content (Standesamt Nr. 1135/1968), necessarily implying that the cited document comes from the local Civil Registry Office. So the death in Tübingen is well sourced.

Also is a fact that the source currently cited in Note 2 of our page attests that HM after 1945 was employed as legal officer (Justiziar) in Oberndorf am Neckar (Note 4-p.149). Carlotm (talk) 03:16, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
