From 1954, he worked freelance before being taken on by Dagens Nyheder in 1959. After working as a correspondent in France and Spain, he returned to Denmark in 1963 where he worked for Danmarks Radio's P3 radio programme. He became famous for hypnotising listeners to give up smoking.[2]
On 10 October 1963 Kringelbach revealed in his radio programme Natredaktionen on P3 that Sven Hassel in reality was a pen name for the convicted traitor Børge Willy Redsted Pedersen.[3]
From April 1965, he was employed by Ekstra Bladet and in his later years he worked as the food editor for Politiken.[2]
