He was seriously wounded in the head. In 1918 he was demobilized with the rank of vice sergeant major . In 1919 he was a member of one of the Freikor organizations - the Rossbach group. In 1921, as part of the freikor, he participated in the suppression of Polish uprisings in Upper Silesia . Later he moved to Berlin , where he worked as an engineer at the Berlin office for garbage collection. At the beginning of 1923 he joined the NSDAP . During the “Beer putsch” was the representative of Adolf Hitler in Berlin . Here, under his command, there was an assault detachment of 30 people from among the former Freikorites and hooligan elements who were supposed to guard the Fuhrer during his trips to the capital. After the ban, the Nazi Party in December 1923 joined the Frontbann created by Ernst Roem.

In 1924–27 he worked as an engineer in Berlin. At the beginning of 1926, the number of Daluge attack aircraft was 500, which exceeded the size of the local organization of the NSDAP .

Then he moved to the SS , and in the spring of 1929 he was appointed chief of the Berlin security forces, immediately taking an independent position in relation to Himmler .

Fulfilling Hitler's order, he organized monitoring of the stormtrooper headquarters. In addition, valuable information was passed on to him by an old friend Herbert Packebush . After the stormtroopers refused to guard Goebbels , put up SS posts, but they did not cope with their task, and Goebbels had to call the police to pacify the rebellious stormtroopers.

April 1, 1931 warned Ryoma about the impending rebellion of the attack aircraft:

I just received a message from the adjutant of one of the SA’s standartenfuhrer that this night from twelve to three in the morning there was a private meeting of the Berlin stormtrooper leadership chaired by SA’s group-führer Jan. At it there was a conversation about the impending Shtannes displacement, which Hitler should announce today in the afternoon at a meeting in Weimar. This order of Hitler will not be executed, which was announced by all those present at the meeting, speaking out in support of Shtannes.

After the suppression of the rebellion, I received a letter of thanks from Hitler, one of the phrases of which: “SS man, your honor means loyalty!” Became the prototype for the SS motto “ My honor is called loyalty” ( German: “Meine Ehre heißt Treue” ).
