In 1939, he volunteered for military service in London and was initially deployed as an interpreter in a prison camp, but was released after six months. After his German connections were critically examined, he called himself George Adams from 1940. Until the end of the war, he continued to serve as an interceptor for BBC monitoring and in air-raid protection.

In 1947, he searched for the projective counterpart to the (visually) infinitely distant plane of Euclidean space, the infinitely inner center of polar Euclidean space (Locher's "absolute center") in the plant world. Adams had the idea that there could not only be one such point, but that such a point must be located at the germination point of every bud. This idea was further elaborated together with Whicher, taking into account the lemniscate-like interaction of space and counterspace. Two books were published in English in 1949 and 1952 and an expanded version in German in 1960 under the title "Die Pflanze in Raum und Gegenraum"[9].
