"In 1934 I was able to start again [at Hanomag], in my old position as a laboratory assistant, material testing. [...] but for the armoury. I took photos of old halls being demolished. I took them secretly from a roof – I knew immediately what was going there. Higher halls again, armament factory... Guns were being built for anti-aircraft defence, so I was one of the war preparers, one of the guilty parties."
