I Joined The Party Definitely In 1923

Many Years Before, I Had Left A Beautiful Country And A Rich Nation And I Returned To That Country Six Years Later To Find It Fundamentally Changed And In A State Of Upheaval, And In Great Spiritual And Material Need.

Only Communists And Social Democrats Who Acted Against The State Were Incarcerated. Most Of The Communists And Social Democrats I Had Known Became Nazis Later. Only Those Who Were Doing Anything Against The State Were Thrown In Concentration Camps.

As Regards Personal Relationships I Cannot Say That I Had Any Particularly Personal Intercourse With Anyone.

I Became Gauleiter In 1927.

Himmler, Bormann, And Goebbels, They Were Probably Bad Fellows.
