then took over a position at the Chemical Study Society in Freiberg from 15 April 1926 to 30 November 1928. From June 1929 to 30 June 1933 he finally worked for Siemens and Halske. On 1 February 1932 Pernet joined the NSDAP, where he received the party member number 887.088. He also became a member of the Sturmabteilung (SA). On 31 August 1933 he received the rank of SA-Standartenführer - a leadership position as a staff leader in the rank of a standard leader of the SA Brigade 53 in Karlsruhe. Later he was promoted to SA-Brigadeführer. On 1 March 1935 Pernet took up a position as adjutant of the Reich Governor of Bavaria Franz Ritter von Epp. He held that position until 1938, when he was appointed Chief Adjutant in the staff of the Reichsschatzmeister NSDAP Franz Schwarz and was further promoted to SA-Oberführer. On 30 January 1942 he became SA-Brigadeführer. By that time, the SA had almost completely lost its influence and lacked the manpower nor the support to play any significant role within the structure of the state. With the end of the war, Pernet was briefly detained by the Allies, but was released in 1946 when the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg formally judged the SA not to be a criminal organization. He retired to Freiburg, where he lived until his death in 1973. Pernet married physiotherapist Christine Mathilde (born 22 February 1906 in Reez; died 29 August 1967 in Freiburg) in 1936. They had three children.
