Under the pseudonym Ernest Peltz, König escaped to Colnrade, where he received a permit to practice medicine as a doctor from the British authority. When rumors about Peltz's authenticity began circulating and an investigation was opened, he closed his practice in 1962 and fled the country.Шаблон:Sfn While his whereabouts are unknown, it is believed that König died sometime in 1991.Шаблон:Sfn[2]
Conduct at Auschwitz
Hermann Langbein records in People of Auschwitz that König used his time at Auschwitz to advance his medical studies. König studied with Jewish doctors, whom he treated cordially, but also performed dangerous and invasive procedures on the basis of his own interest. One of those physicians, Шаблон:Ill, described that prisoners whose sickness interested König received better care until he grew bored with their condition, at which point König assigned them to the gas chamber.Шаблон:Sfn
Legacy
König is mentioned by name in Binjamin Wilkomirski's fraudulent autobiography Fragments, but König was not present at Auschwitz at the same time Wilkomirski alleged he was.Шаблон:Sfn
