I Did That All The More, If

My Connection With The Reich Ministers Was Of A Purely Official Nature And Was Very Infrequent.

Many Years Before, I Had Left A Beautiful Country And A Rich Nation And I Returned To That Country Six Years Later To Find It Fundamentally Changed And In A State Of Upheaval, And In Great Spiritual And Material Need.

I Did That All The More, If I May Say So, Because I Was Aware Of The Fact That There Is An Inclination To Go To Extremes In German People, And In The German Character Generally.

It So Happened That I Was On A German Sailing Vessel On The Way To Australia When The Ship Was Captured, And On The High Seas I Was Made Prisoner By The French.

As A Cabin Boy On A Norwegian Sailing Ship I Earned Five Kronen A Week In Addition To My Keep.
