transcription:
As it turned out there were two illegal Hitler-youth members in school who wrote reports. When I was interrogated by the Gestapo these reports were held against me. In 1938 it was known who was opposed National Socialism. That's why the first wave of arrests, based on the records, took place from one moment to the next. That's why it was so effective. A whole group of people who could potentially have become active against National Socialism were removed. That was the first blow against the resistance movement.
