I Joined The Party Definitely In 1923

I Joined The Party Definitely In 1923 After Having Already Been In Sympathy With It Before.

I Was Member Of The Diet As Long As It Existed, Until May 1933.

The Dissolution Of The Trade Unions Was In The Air Then.

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.

Only Communists And Social Democrats Who Acted Against The State Were Incarcerated. Most Of The Communists And Social Democrats I Had Known Became Nazis Later. Only Those Who Were Doing Anything Against The State Were Thrown In Concentration Camps.
