All the same, I cannot say that there was never any friction. Frequently I would receive a ‘rocket’ which appeared to me unjustified. When Hitler once inferred from my behaviour that I considered myself to have been unjustly treated, he told me: ‘Linge, you are with me. Therefore, even when you are innocent I have to bawl you out. And I have to do it with sufficient vigour to ensure that you will take steps to pass it on to the culprits below you. I cannot always look for them myself.’
