this is a very good question and I Really enjoy answering questions like this about this book because we see the world thyrough the innocent eyes of bruno so things may not always be as they seem. one reason maybe the conversation at the dinner table when he says his father is in Switzerland and he also admits that he has not told anyone about it. another reason may be is that the commandent ie brunos father finds out about his affair with his wife ie brunos mother you get this impression because there ia a page in the book where brunos mother walks in and says 'kurt darling I have some free time if you want to' then she realises that bruno is watching then says i need to have a privat word with luietant kotler. also bruno mensions that kurt is always at his house till after he goes to sleep and before he wakes up and pretends he owns the place he also mentions that mother laughs at his jokes more than fathers
so the answer is possiblybecause of the switzerland incindent or the affair or a combination of fboth or the father was trying to find a reason to kick him out for sleeping with his wife and found the switzerland reason convenient
if u need any extra help give us a yell
The wine wasted in Lieutenant Kotler's lap.
Lieutenant Kotler called Pavel a word that Bruno did not know most likely a cuss word.
Bruno, asked Kotler for an old spare tire with which to make a tire swing. Kotler replied in jest about one of the other soldier's fat belly.
Lieutenant Kotler and Bruno's Mother had an affair and Bruno's father found out.
Lieutenant Kurt Kotler. He is sent to a different camp by the commandant for unknown reasons (although some speculate he was having an affair with the commandant's wife).

He is cruel to the prisoners, and taunts Bruno by calling him “little man,” something the boy despises. Kotler is eventually transferred away from Auschwitz when Father discovers that Kotler's father, a literature professor, fled from Germany in 1938 at the start of the war.
The signs are when bruno says he always sees them whispering together and how on his fathers birthday she walks out not realizing that brun is there and she says kurt darling your still here, im free now if you want to..... and she trails off when she sees bruno standing there. Also when bruno describes his parents argument when kotler is sent away and the way his mother acts.
I believe he might have left for a number of reasons, but it's hard to put a finger on a specific one. 1. He might have been Jewish 2. Lieutenant Kotler said his Father was a 'Professor of Literature' and at that time, academics like Kotler's Father had to be reported.

A mean soldier who hates Jews and calles Bruno little man
He made a list about the reasons why he hated Lieutenant Kotler.
