Pohla worked as a plumber. After the commencement of Operation Barbarossa, he was mobilized into the Red Army and trained in Tallinn. Whilst sailing to Leningrad for deployment, Pohla and several hundred other soldiers died when the transport ship carrying them was sunk by German submarines. Pohla and the other recruits were listed as missing in action until they were declared dead in January 1943.[1][2]
