The rise of Nazism complicated German vegetarianism: Nazism came under attack at the summer 1933 meeting of the International Vegetarian Union in Switzerland, prompting the German participants to withdraw from the international body. Ragnar Berg, a natural foods advocate at Dresden's Rudolf Hess Hospital, was invited to participate in the union's 1935 meeting in Denmark but refused, protesting its anti-German stance. Berg's protest reached Franz Wirz in Hess's office, who asked the police to detain two Ger man delegates--both physicians--wanting to travel to the meeting. In July of that year, P. Orlowsky of the NSDAP's Hauptamt fiir Volksgesundheit trav eled to the Stettiner Bahnhof to make the arrests, accompanied by two Kriminalbeamte. In his report, Orlowsky characterized the delegates as "eine negative Auslese ... Mannlein und Weiblein in phantastischen Aufziigen, mit Pappschachteln und Paketen beladen, der offizielle grime Lodenmantel nicht zu vergessen.... Schillerkragen und lange Mahne taten das iibrige, um zu zeigen, dass hier 'Umaturliches Leberi am Werke ist" (Orlowsky to Wirz, July 7, 1935, Box 323 Folder 7, Deutsche Kongress-Zentrale, Hoover Institution Ar chives, hereafter DKZ, HIA).
