==climate in Germany==

"In the 1930s, the climate in Germany became too unfriendly for Rüstow" is vague, In 1933 he should become the minister of economic in the planned goverment of general Schleicher see =%22Alexander+R%C3%BCstow%22+schleicher&hl=de&as_brr=0 here. (For this link you need a google-account- it is free). In March 1933 during a journey to Switzerland the SS made a raid in his house at Berlin. They took a box with paper notices and the label "SS" away, which was an abbreviation for "Selige Sehnsucht" a poem of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In Switzerland he was alarmed not to return to Germany. His first intention was to go the United States, but had no chance, so he got an offer to go to Istanbul. -- Jlorenz1 02:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC) or de:Benutzer:jlorenz1@web.deReply

In German:"In the 1930s, the climate in Germany became too unfriendly for Rüstow" ist etwas zu vage. 1933 war in der Regierung als Wirtschaftsminister geplant. Schleicher trug perfiderweise immer eine Liste seiner Kabinettsmitglieder bei sich, so empörte sich mein Großvater (Bei einer Verhaftung brachte er damit andere in Lebensgefahr). Ende März gab es während seiner Reise eine Hausdurchsuchung in seinem Berliner Haus und die SS beschlagnahmte eine Kasten mit Gedächtnisnotizen und der Aufschrift "SS", was ihnen sehr seltsam vorkam, aber für "Selige Sehnsucht" das Gedicht von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe stand. In der Schweiz wurde er alarmiert nicht nach Deutschland zurückzukehren. Seine erste Absicht war in die Vereinigten Staaten auszuwandern, wo seine Freunde u.a. de:Adolph Lowe waren, fand aber keine Gelegenheit, so nahm er den Ruf nach Istanbul an. -- Jlorenz1 02:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
