"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."

"I lived in Steigerthalstraße from 1925 to 1936. I spent the best and happiest years of my youth there. I wasn't that interested in the front. Why? Because I always went out the back - because of my bicycle. The bicycle was what a motorbike or a car is for someone today."

"Here [...] mostly laundry was hanging in the yards. And that is also a document of the times. At that time there were no washing machines, no spin dryers and drying machines, but they still rumbled on the board with curd soap, hung everything in the wind and dried it."
