In World War I he fought on the Western Front and in Italy. Following the German Revolution of 1918–1919 he resigned, as captain, from active military service, and within a few months became a postulant at the Abbey of St. Martin in Beuron. He entered the novitiate in 1920 as "Brother Odo", taking vows in February 1921.

Source Notes
Originally this entry had a speculative time of 9pm (rated C) with Sy Scholfield quoting from "Altonaer Nachrichten, " 13 March 1896, p. 3: "Stuttgart, 12. März. Die Herzogin Albrecht von Württemberg ist heute Abend von einem Prinzen entbunden worden" (Stuttgart, 12 March. The Duchess Albrecht von Wurttemberg was this evening delivered of a prince).
On 3 March 2017 Scholfield changed the time to 6:15pm (and the rating to A), having forwarded news report from "Pester Lloyd," 13 March 1896, p. 3: "Stuttgart, 12. März. Herzogin Margarethe Sophie von Württemberg, Gemahlin des Herzogs Albrecht von Württemberg, ist um 6¼ Uhr Abends von einem Prinzen glücklich entbunden worden." (Stuttgart, 12 March. Duchess Margarethe Sophie of Wurttemberg, wife of Duke Albrecht of Wurttemberg, was happily delivered of a prince at six-fifteen o'clock in the evening).
