He left school at 14 and worked for 8 years as a clerk before embarking on studies in philosophy and theology at Tübingen University. His first clash with Nazism came in 1934 when he was arrested while still a student. His continued opposition to the regime cost him a teaching post at Berlin University two years later, and he turned to work in the Evangelical Church."@eng .
