"In my Gau, as far as I know, only Communists who had actually worked against the State were arrested"

In this quote, Fritz Sauckel is referring to his home town, or "Gau," and the actions of the Communist party within it. He states that to his understanding, only those Communists who actively worked versus the government were arrested. This recommends that there might have been a level of tolerance for the Communist celebration in his Gau, as long as they did not present a danger to the State. Sauckel's usage of the word "actually" implies that there may have been reports or allegations of Communist activity, but just those who were proven to be actively working versus the federal government were arrested. This quote clarifies the political environment of Sauckel's Gau and the level of control the government had more than the Communist celebration.
