His former classmate Hans-Wolf Werner recalled that Heinz literally boasted a kinship with Hitler; once he and his friends drove through Magdeburg on a car taken from someone without a driver's license and any guard who stopped him immediately released when he saw the name Hitler on his identity card.
He served as a non-commissioned officer in the 23rd Potsdam Artillery Regiment as a communications man. He fought on the Eastern Front . He took part in the invasion of the Soviet Union according to the plan of Barbarossa . Awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class.
