| A. After all, it was a reason which had a certain history and which had quite definite validity. The fight of the National Socialist Party was characterized by its constant anti-Bolshevist attitude. According to the opinion which I had at the time, and which I still hold today, there were three possibilities for expansion of bolshevism. First of all, there was the possibility of utilizing propaganda by word, in literature, and by films. Secondly, the political way of armed conflict and we were right in the midst of this armed conflict. Thirdly, for me, as an anthropologist and a biologist, there was a third possibility, and that was the possibility of biological infiltration. I myself, as an anthropologist, considered this possibility to be the most dangerous one. By considering the fact that we, at the time, had to break the power of bolshevism, the inclusion of the Race and Settlement Main Office and its examiners seemed to be quite a logical measure at the time. | |
