But his greatest successes he had at the theater where he impersonated many roles. Especially his impressive voice had a great fascination.
Curt Ackermann appeared again in movies of the 40's, among them "Der grosse Schatten" (42), "Ein Mann mit Grundsätzen" (43) and "Damals" (43).

After the war he entered a new career with dubbing foreign movies. His voice which was regarded as one of the most masculine and high-classest of his era was very catchy, moreover he knew his trade like on one else.
