He fled the country after the 1939 annexation of Bohemia and Moravia by Nazi regime to Great Britain. There he worked for the exile Czechoslovak government and trained paratroopers heading to Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Later in December 1944 he was air-landed together with rotmistr Leopold Musil in the Protectorate to support the home underground movement (operation codename Tungsten) unfortunately 100 km away from their original target. They both survived seven-day march through the snow-covered terrain avoiding any contact (carrying a radio beacon and other illegal material) and before the World War II ended they actively organized the resistance movement around Nové M sto na Morav . After the liberation of Czechoslovakia he joined the Czechoslovak Army at the general staff and graduated from the military academy.
