I and my families have been friends with the Brecht family until the following incident. Dr. Since l936, I have known Brecht from my work in the Palatinate, where Dr. Brecht was the commercial director of the Saarpfälzische Heimstätte, with whom I had a lot to do as a freelance architect. On Saturday, August 26, 1939, I was called early in the morning in my apartment by Mrs. Bricht, who told me very excitedly that her husband, who is at the moment. Mrs Brecht asked me at that time whether she should not get in touch with State Secretary Dauser to ask him for advice on this matter. I left this to her personal view and decided to talk with her. On the same day I was called back in the late afternoon in my apartment at Brecht, where she told me that her husband had arrived in the barracks and that he had spoken to her by telephone and that, among other things, he had expressed that the mood of the soldiers who were drafted was very bad. She continued to explain to me that under no circumstances would she allow her husband to be called up and that she would put all the levers in motion to make his complaint. She explained literally: "My husband is too bad for Kulidiensten." This expression led me to clarify to the woman that l. our German soldiers are not Kulis, 2. Her husband could be proud to be chosen as a soldier.
