Lutz went on to found the Nazi Students Federation in 1930 and Jungwerk in 1931. His dedication to the Nazi movement was so strong that he had to repeat a class twice and began working with the NSDAP on April 1, 1931.
As an author, Lutz is known for his pulp fiction novels, including the Panzer Platoon and Nazi Paratrooper series. These novels are written from a German perspective, with the protagonists being German soldiers.
