Ministerial Director Dr. Badt, who is a prominent worker in Jewish affairs in Germany, and an active Zionist, and in his official capacity is the representative of the Prussian Government on the German Federal Council, is appearing for the Prussian State before the Leipzig Supreme Court for the Protection of the Republic to answer the charge brought against it by Adolf Hitler, that it acted unconstitutionally in raiding the Hitlerist headquarters in Prussia recently and demanding the return of all the documents which were seized during the raids.
Dr. Badt showed in his evidence that Messrs. Goebbels, Frick and Roehm, three prominent leaders of the Hitlerist Party, had declared publicly in the form of an ultimatum, that Hitler was standing as candidate in the presidential elections only as a last attempt to obtain power by legal means, and if that failed the Nazi stormtroopers would move to bring about the capture of power by force of arms, so that the Prussian State had been completely justified in seizing documents containing proof of the Hitlerist plans for a violent revolution, to enable it to counter these plans in the interests of public safety.
