October

To
Dr.
Lammers,
Secretary
of State in the Office of the Reich Chancellor,
Berlin.
The
Honorable Mr. Secretary of State,
Following
the conversation of April 28 with your Excellency, I
took the liberty of giving expression to wishes and
thoughts concerning the regulation of the position of
the German Jews within the German State in a letter
addressed to the Reich Chancellor on May 6, 1933. In
this letter I endeavored to describe the honest desire
of our Union to serve the German People and German
State, and to outline the way that might lead in such
a direction. In view of the position of the German
Reich abroad, which has been brought about by Germanys
withdrawal from the League of Nations and the recall
of the German Delegates from the Disarmament
Conference, I wish to declare the happy approval of
our Union of this energetic move, which at long last
opens up new possibilities for German equality. Just
as I declared at that time that our Union placed its
manpower at the disposal of the Reich Government, so
do the members of our Union wish to place themselves
at the disposal of the Reich Government today. Today,
as 19 years ago, they wish to mobilize themselves
entirely for the Fatherland, if that is what the hour
requires.
I
request your Excellency to inform the Reich Chancellor
of our Declaration of Loyalty and of our readiness.
With
the assurance of my most especial respect,
I
beg to sign, your Excellency
Your
obedient Servant
Dr.
Loewenstein
Captain
of Cavalry (Retired)
Chairman
of the Union
German
Foreign Ministry Archives, Bonn.
