Fichtner had been in charge of the Heereswaffenamt Wa-Prüf 6 in the critical years of 1937–42, where he played an important role in panzer development programs. Fichtner was badly wounded in mid-September 1943 and put in the Fuhrer-Reserve. He was arrested by the Gestapo after the 20 July Plot and spent two months in detention before being released, but saw no further service.
