War is not a thing one wants.

I never participated in far-reaching political decisions, since I never belonged to the circle of the closest associates of Adolf Hitler, neither was I consulted by Adolf Hitler on general political questions, nor did I ever take part in conferences about such problems.

In 1930 I became a member of the Reichstag.

Concentration camps were entirely a matter for the police and had nothing to do with the administration.

I worked as a lawyer as a member of the teaching staff of a technical college and then I worked principally as legal adviser to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party.

On 24 August 1939, as an officer in the reserve, I had to join my regiment in Potsdam.

I ask nothing of the Jews except that they should disappear.
