Post-WWII
With the surrender of the Wehrmacht, Hahm became an Allied prisoner of war. He was released in 1947. In the course of the investigations for the Nuremberg Trials, in response to certain accusations against his division, Hahm gave a sworn statement as a witness on 23 June 1946 in Neu-Ulm: : "The deposition of the Chief of the General Staff of the 4th Army, General Hans Röttiger, is incomprehensible to me. The 260th Division, fighting in the 4th Army area, had constantly to defend itself from about March to August 1942 against gang () attacks in the zone behind the lines. Namely in the region north of the road Roslawl–Juchnow. An "extermination order” of the 4th Army against the gangs respectively the partisans is not known to me. On the contrary, the partisans captured at that time were, according to orders of superior commands, either sent to prisoner camps or used as labor detachments." ==Death==
