Fritz Prang and his mother, Frau Prang. The documents quoted were kindly loaned for the purpose by them and by the Albertus Magnus Society. Most of the legends of Goebbels' childhood, adolescence and early career originated in the official biographies of the Nazi period, notably those written by Bade and Krause, and have been in many cases repeated by Riess, Ebermayer and others recording either the life of Goebbels or the history of the Nazi movement. The facts concerning Goebbels' introduction to the Nazi Party have been confirmed by Dr. Prang, Karl Kaufmann, Dr. Otto Strasser and Dr. Helmuth Elbrechter. The quotations from Goebbels' short novel Michael are translated from the original edition published by the Eher Verlag.1. Maria Kimmich has stated to H.F. that her maternal grandmother was born on 18th April 1869 at Uebach over Worms, a Dutch township. (Worms has nothing to do with the German city on the Rhine; it is the name of a Dutch rivulet on which Uebach is situated.) The grandmother's maiden name was Coervers, which is Dutch, and her ancestry was entirely Dutch.
