Through the Young Men's Christian Association and principally in Australia and North America, as well as in South America, I came into contact with families of these countries.

I became Gauleiter in 1927.

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

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.

I attended the elementary school at Schweinfurt and the secondary school.

In my Gau, as far as I know, only Communists who had actually worked against the State were arrested.

The controversies between the proletariat and the middle class had to be smoothed out and bridged over by each getting to know and understand the other.
