I was member of the Diet as long as it existed, until May 1933.

As a cabin boy on a Norwegian sailing ship I earned five kronen a week in addition to my keep.

One day I heard a speech of Hitler. In this speech he said that the German factory worker and the German labourer must make common cause with the German intellectual worker.

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.

In order to provide the German housewife, above all mothers of many children...with tangible relief from her burdens, the Fuhrer has commissioned me to bring into the Reich from the eastern territories some four to five hundred thousand select, healthy, and strong girls.

I joined the Party definitely in 1923 after having already been in sympathy with it before.

The Diet was dissolved by a Reich Government decree.
