I was elected to the Diet in the same way as at every parliamentary election.
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.
The Diet was dissolved by a Reich Government decree.
I was member of the Diet as long as it existed, until May 1933.
Himmler, Bormann, and Goebbels, they were probably bad fellows.
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.
