In the final days of the war, Allerberger was captured by Allied forces. He spent several years in a prisoner of war camp, where he had ample time to reflect on his experiences. After his release, Allerberger returned to Austria, where he worked tirelessly to rebuild his life and promote reconciliation between former enemies.
