Under 2. verdenskrig var han kaptajn på D/S Motortramps skib Tureby, der den 9. april 1940 befandt sig ud for Islands kyster. Han kom til at opleve 2. verdenskrig lang fra Danmark. Fx er han i 1942 med Tureby med til at flytte militært udstyr ved Sydafrikas havne: "On the first evening out, as I was at dinner with Captain Lohse, his chief officer and the chief engineer, all very friendly Danes, we were nearly thrown off our chairs by a tremendous shaking of the ship followed by a tremendous noise. We all rushed up to the top of the superstructure and, looking aft, saw the corvette and one of the whale catchers going round in circles and dropping depth charges, with the destroyer rushing round from the front of the convoy to join in the fun. The merchant ships were ordered to keep going at full speed. We soon left our escort behind but, about half an hour later, they caught up with us, the corvette signalling to us by lamp, “Sorry, just a school of porpoises.” We were all very sorry for the poor porpoises but glad to know that there was not just then any danger from U-boats. Three days later we arrived in Cape Town, where all the ships filled up with extra cargo and with fuel for the long haul across the Atlantic." http://indicatorloops.com/southafrica.htm
