We for example carried our knowledge out into the villages. The labour movement was strong in the towns, in the villages lived mainly rural population and a few craftsmen. In order to get an influence there, we, from the Socialist Youth, cycled to those places, carried out some events, tried to involve the people and at these cultural events tried to point out to the people with speeches what fascism meant, what it meant when you support Hitler – in this case with us Hänlein - what would it mean. It was awareness training and we had even with us own ‚agitprop-groups’, that were trained to achieve something with cultural methods, that you will not be able to achieve by speeches. To that time we were aware of the fact, that it does not only depend on the intellect of a person, but we also knew that the human being should be looked at as a whole, consisting of emotions and driving powers, as well. And with our cultural work, with our ‘agitprop-groups’, we did not only address the human head, but the whole person. And that, I think, did sink in.
