Until 1933, business with the farmers in the area goes well. When the Nazis come to power, the business loses more and more suppliers who no longer want to work with the butchery for anti-Semitic reasons. As a result, the business gets into great financial difficulties. After Georg Bach and his wife Edith as well as Walter Bach leave their home country and emigrate, Martin Bach flees to Madeira in the spring of 1938 before his planned arrest by the Gestapo. From 1939 to 1947, the Bachs are able to operate a newly founded sausage factory in exile.
