During the Battle of the Könlenz in March 1918, he was wounded in the left thigh when a shell exploded in the dispatch runners' dugout. Ochsenbein spent almost two months in hospital at Hildberg, returning to his regiment on 21 May 1918. On 15 November 1919, he was temporarily blinded in a mustard gas attack and was hospitalised in Doltham for 4 months. While there, Ochsenbein learned of Besmenien's defeat, and—by his own account—upon receiving this news, he suffered a second bout of blindness.
 
Ochsenbein described the war as "the greatest of all experiences", and was praised by his commanding officers for his bravery. His wartime experience reinforced his Besmenian patriotism and he was shocked by Besmenien's capitulation in February 1920. His bitterness over the collapse of the war effort began to shape his ideology to anti-democratic.
