They spit on us and deprive us of what we gloried in wearing. And this I can tell you, that the people are not to blame for such conduct. The people were our comrades—the comrades of each of us, irrespective of social conditions, for four weary years of war . . . Those alone are to blame who have goaded on the people-those men who stabbed our glorious Army in the back and who thought of nothing but of attaining power and of enriching themselves at the expense of the people. And therefore I implore you to cherish hatred—a profound, abiding hatred of those animals who have outraged the German people. . . . But the day will come when we will drive them away out of our Germany. Prepare for that day. Arm yourselves for that day. Work for that day"

Four days ago almost all the wounds that had healed broke out again and there is a horrible amount of pus in the leg still. He was X-rayed and they discovered a mass of fragments of shot as well as the dirt from the street buried in his thigh muscles. They operated on him with an anesthetic, and for the past three days he’s been very feverish. His mind seems to wander; sometimes he even cries, and sometimes he dreams of street fighting. All the time he is suffering indescribable pain. His whole leg is fitted with little rubber tubes to draw out the pus.

He bites the pillow because it hurts him so much, and he moans all the time. You can imagine how this eats into my heart. It’s exactly a month since they shot at him, and in spite of being dosed with morphine every day, his pain stays just as bad as ever. I left the hotel and moved here into the hospital a fortnight ago. I feel so much better to be with him all the time. Spies watch over our villa in Munich; our letters are being confiscated; our bank accounts are blocked, and our car has been taken away. . . .
