Passionate about horses and equestrian disciplines, he served as a cavalry officer during World War I, primarily in Galicia and Flanders. Binding wrote a popular autobiographical book in Germany between the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich, Aus dem Kriege (1925). He never joined the Nazi Party, but in his pamphlet Antwort eines Deutschen an die Welt, he defended Nazi policy against criticisms from international public opinion. DB
