I Became Gauleiter In 1927.

I Was Elected To The Diet In The Same Way As At Every Parliamentary Election.

As A Cabin Boy On A Norwegian Sailing Ship I Earned Five Kronen A Week In Addition To My Keep.

I Had Repeatedly Made Written Requests To The Fuehrer That I Might Be Allowed To Join The Wehrmacht As An Ordinary Soldier. He Refused To Give Me This Permission.

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.
