Upon Pauson's death in 1934, his wife's brother Hugo Aufseesser took over the company. After the Nazis came to power in 1933, the Jewish family was forced to sell the company in 1938, and it was taken over as a German company and managed by Fritz Haertle. The company was completely bombed out early in 1945 but later reconstructed. Several members of the family died in the Nazi concentration camps.
