In two short years I was made the “Gauleiter” for the Berlin section of the National Socialists. Hitler’s early confidence in me to manage a whole city, touched me in a way nothing else ever had. It seemed my talent for writing was finally being recognized, as I became the editor of the greated newspaper to ever be published, Der Angriff . It was a newspaper issued by the Nazi party, which in reality was a pubic service because it helped educate the citizens of Germany about the truth of politics and those vile Jews. Along with newspapers Der Angriff also published various posters and handbills all with the same goal, educating the public about the truth. Der Angriff’s main topics of interests were socialists such as Hermann Muller, Carl Severing, and Bernhard Weib. When first writing my biting articles I had expected at least some sort of a backlash. It seemed the socialist leaders were to weak to confront me. I now admired Hitler even more for saving me from my impending doom that was sure to occur had I stayed with the socialist party. Along with writing, my participation in the party had fostered my oratory skills. If Hitler wasn’t available for a speech, it was my job to fill his shoes. I had gained considerably power and I was enjoying it immensely. My power to effect masses of people by simply delivering a five minute speech was mind boggling. My position in the Nazi party was secure and life was good.
