He was appointed as Chair of Anatomy at Leipzig University in 1935. Clara is known for having close ties with the Nazi Party, basing much of his controversial work on his studies of the bodies of executed prisoners. His main work, "Das Nervensystem des Menschen" (The Nervous System of Man) was written in 1942 in Leipzig during the Third Reich's dictatorship. In 1937, he discovered previously unknown cells found in human lungs, which were later eponymously named Clara cells.
