While he was in there Hitler was allowed to hang out with who ever including his personal secretary, Rudolf Hess who was imprisoned for the same thing as Hitler. Hess served as Hitler’s typist while Hitler dictated some of the work that would in turn become known as first volume of Mein Kampf.

They were ordered to leave their homes in a single night, and were only allowed one suitcase per person to store their belongings. The Jews were taken from their homes and thrown into boxcars, piled on top of each other.
