Grünewald was one of the military in the Military Junta (August 30, 1969 - October 30, 1969) that ruled Brazil between the illness of Artur da Costa e Silva in August of 1969 and the investiture ceremony of Emílio Garrastazú Médici in October of that same year, "elected" by Congress earlier in that year (as a matter of fact he was chosen by his fellow officer generals). In the same occasions Rademaker was picked and "elected" as vice-president for the same term as Medici's (1969-1974).
