The author's request to return his German passport. When he had passed over the Dutch frontier, he had first been told to immediately go back to Germany, although his passport was in perfect order; finally he was allowed to go on, but his passport was withheld by the Dutch Authorities. This report includes details on the atrocious ill-treatment the author had suffered from the S.A. men during his stay in protective custody of nine days, in August 1933. The declaration he had to sign before his release which came about through the assistance of two solicitors who were sure he had never taken an interest in politics, and the fact that his father and two brothers held military passports.
