In My Gau, As Far As I

I'm A Sailor, Not A Politician.

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

In My Gau, As Far As I Know, Only Communists Who Had Actually Worked Against The State Were Arrested.

Although As A Sailor I Despised Politics - For I Loved My Sailor's Life And Still Love It Today - Conditions Forced Me To Take Up A Definite Attitude Towards Political Problems.

I Became Gauleiter In 1927.
