English Translation

43a Hermann Gleßgen worked as a freelance employee at this institute during my time at the Reichssender Saarbrücken until 1937). Since it was established that he was not to be regarded as politically reliable, he was no longer employed. Gleßgen was a member and agitator of the Bayer People's Party, which was known to be the South German branch of the Center. He spoke more often in meetings of the Bavarian People' s Party and also as a discussion speaker against the NSDAP. At the upheaval in 1933 he was in protective custody for a few days. I myself consider Glessgen to be an unscrupulous political hazadeur and that kind of intellectuals who do everything for money. The inclusion of the Glessgen in the party is not at all a debateable in the Gau Saarpfalz. The circle leaders from the Old Kingdom, whom Glesgen faced as political opponents, explained in Sont- hofen to the head of the Gaupersonalamt Oberlik and to the director of the organisation citizen that in the event of an admission of the Glessgen into the NSDAP. they will make a complaint at the Reichsleitung.
