In his paper "Empirische und theoretische Grundlagen zur Neuberechnung von Öfen und Versuchsdaten, Schießplatz Kummersdorf Vers. All topics regarding the engine were assigned to Thiel, and he had to further advance the propulsion, which he managed in a very short time. In autumn of 1936 Dornberger asked Thiel to move from fundamental research to Wa Prüf 11 at Kummersdorf's western testing ground. Here Thiel got to know Walter Dornberger and Wernher von Braun.

Schumann accompanied many diploma theses and dissertations, including that of Wernher von Braun, who completed his dissertation in 1934. Late 1934 or early 1935 Thiel became research instructor at Reichswehrministerium.
