Busche's family left Dortmund after the beginning of the Second World War. Near the end of the war, Busche was drafted at age 14 into the German Army during the Nazi regime's desperate final push. After the war, Busche returned to Dortmund where he lived in a large part on the molasses that had poured out of a supply train American soldiers had attacked.

After the war, Busche completed high school and then studied at universities in Bonn and Freiberg. He then took over a printing business from his father. Under his direction, the company grew to be one of the larger ones in Germany. It was also one of the few companies in Germany at that time that used a participatory style of leadership.

Busche married Jutta Baum in 1955. Together they joined the LDS Church in 1958. He served in many local positions in the church, eventually serving as a counselor in the presidency of the Central German Mission.

Busche served as regional representative to the German regions in 1973 and spoke at the continental Europe Area conference held in Münich that year.

Busche was called as a member of the church's First Quorum of the Seventy in October 1977. As a general authority, he served as president of the Germany Munich Mission from 1978 to 1980. From 1987 to 1989, he was the president of the Frankfurt Germany Temple. He served as a general authority until October 2000, when he was granted emeritus status.
