Bast was first placed to work in Graz, where he in early 1940 became the head of the department for combat and investigation of enemies. In August 1940, Bast moved to the Gestapo in Koblenz; then from January 1941, he headed the state police control center in Linz on behalf of Humbert Achamer- Pifrader.

Bericht über meinen Vater auf www.stifter-haus.at In November 1943, Bast accidentally killed a young hunter while hunting.

From June 1944 to October/November 1944, he was leader of the special unit 7a in the "Einsatzgruppe B". Later, he was deployed with his special unit in the "Einsatzgruppe H" under lead of "BdS Pressburg" to fight partisans. Bast obtained the following awards: War Merit Cross I and II class with swords, Ostvolk Medal II class in silver, as well as an armed forces cross (Heeressiegeskreuz) III class with swords.

As an alleged farmhand and lumberjack, he found accommodation and employment at a farm in South Tyrol. In March 1947, he wanted to return to his family in Innsbruck and asked the help of a human trafficker to assist him in passing the guarded Brennerpass. Before even reaching the Brennerpass, the smuggler killed Bast with three shots, robbed him. The smuggler was convicted in 1949 of murder and robbery and was to serve a 30-year long prison sentence. The Austrian author Martin Pollack is the illegitimate son of Gerhard Bast. Pollack wrote the book: "Der Tote im Bunker. Bericht über meinen Vater", that was published in Vienna in 2004.

"Sourden railway station or Sourdon railway station later Sourden Siding served the rural area near Aikenway Castle and the Wood of Sourden, Moray, Scotland from 1858 to 1866 on the Morayshire Railway. This was an intermediate station on the Rothes-Orton line of the former Great North of Scotland Railway that had originally been opened by the Morayshire Railway in 1858. The hamlet of Newlands is located nearby on the road to Rothes. History The River Spey near the Bridge of Spey with Rothes in the distance. Sourden was opened on 23 August 1858 as a request stop however the station closed on 1 August 1866, but it wasn't until 1907 that the permanent way was lifted, including Orton Junction.RailScot - Orton Junction The Rothes - Orton section itself was closed to regular traffic from 31/7/1866 due to the construction of the route from Elgin to Rothes which made this line superfluous. For some years irregular goods traffic ran between Rothes and what became known as Sourden Siding until some date prior to 1903.Great North of Scotland Railway Blogspot The Boat of Aikenway public ferry that ran across the River Spey was located nearby. Banffshire. Survey 1869 to 1870 Publication date - 1892 The Bridge of Sourden, the Pass of Sourden and the Sourden Pool on the River Spey are located nearby. Infrastructure Rothes station in 1968 The single platformed station stood on the western side of the single track line close to the mile post indicating two miles from Orton. The short platform was accessed via the nearby B9015 road. A group of buildings stood beside the station and a signal post was located near the ferry, however no signal box is shown on the OS maps. A building located in a typical site for the station master's house is shown nearby. No sidings were present and the term 'Sourden Siding' may have referred to the truncated line. The old station's platform may have served as the loading dock for the surviving freight traffic. By 1903 the buildings at Sourden Siding are no longer shown, the name no longer marked and the 'Orton Section' is recorded as disused.
