I'm A Sailor, Not A Politician.

I Was Never Informed In Advance About The Start Of The War Or About Foreign Political Developments.

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

In Order To Provide The German Housewife, Above All Mothers Of Many Children...with Tangible Relief From Her Burdens, The Fuhrer Has Commissioned Me To Bring Into The Reich From The Eastern Territories Some Four To Five Hundred Thousand Select, Healthy, And Strong Girls.

My Connection With The Reich Ministers Was Of A Purely Official Nature And Was Very Infrequent.

It So Happened That I Was On A German Sailing Vessel On The Way To Australia When The Ship Was Captured, And On The High Seas I Was Made Prisoner By The French.
