- 
the adult’s organisation of the social democrats, the socialists, “Rote Wehr”, later on “Republikanische Wehr” was strictly defensive.
 - 
That was good when a public house was to be defended against the attack of the Nazis.
 - 
That was good at demonstrations, where the ‘Rote Wehr’ was walking at the front and at the back,
 - 
but if a location in a small village was encircled by the Nazis,
 - 
some of our people were already inside and some still wanted to get in to the event and couldn’t,
 - 
well, then our pioneer fraction was called.
 - 
Fascism in childhood and youth
 - 
Fascism was a subject,
 - 
because of the experiences that we picked up from the immigrants.
 - 
In our youth group we invited immigrants from Austria and Germany to tell their story.
 - 
We already knew before the high finance and the generals
 - 
pushed the power towards the Nazi leading clique:
 - 
Hitler means war.
 - 
We not only grew into the anti-fascist fight,
 - 
but as well into the fight for peace. It was the same question to us:
 - 
the anti-fascist fight and the fight for peace.
 - 
That obviously assumed that we threw light on it.
 - 
After my youth consecration, when I left school, I took part in my first Marxist seminar.
 - 
There, young people who were interested,
 - 
learned all the basics if they wanted to become a functionary of the labour movement.
