I was elected to the Diet in the same way as at every parliamentary election.

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

I could not have the honour of being a German soldier because of my imprisonment in the First World War. And in this world war the Fuehrer refuses to allow me to serve as a soldier.

I'm a sailor, not a politician.

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

I am dying innocent. The sentence is wrong. God protect Germany and make Germany great again. Long live Germany! God protect my family!

The Diet was dissolved by a Reich Government decree.
