He joined board of the Friedrich Krupp AG in 1934 as Director of Administration and Finance. From 1939 he was also on the board of Dresdner Bank.

Löser was arrested in its aftermath and on 20 October 1944 was tried by the People's Court, but succeeded in convincing Roland Freisler that he was suffering from memory loss. Avoiding conviction he was committed to a sanatorium and survived the war.
In 1947, Löser was indicted at the Krupp Trial for war crimes, including use of slave labor and plunder of occupied Europe. He was found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to 7 years in prison. Löser was not granted clemency, but was released early on health grounds on 2 June 1951. He died in 1970.
