I'm a sailor, not a politician.

My connection with the Reich Ministers was of a purely official nature and was very infrequent.

As regards personal relationships I cannot say that I had any particularly personal intercourse with anyone.

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

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

I became Gauleiter in 1927.
