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 attended the elementary school at Schweinfurt and the secondary school.
I became Gauleiter in 1927.
I was elected to the Diet in the same way as at every parliamentary election.
I was member of the Diet as long as it existed, until May 1933.
