As a serving officer Pabst gained notoriety for ordering the executions of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg in 1919 as well as for his leading role in the coterie of right-wing conspirators around Wolfgang Kapp.
In Austria he played a central part in organising rightist militia groups before being deported due to his activities.Pabst subsequently faded from public life in Nazi Germany as he was never more than loosely associated with the Nazis.
