Co-chairman of the SPD since 1931, Hans Vogel continued his political opposition to National Socialism while in exile. He was also made chairman of the Union of German Socialist Organisations in the United Kingdom in March 1941. In his country of refuge, however, Vogel’s scope for political activity was limited not least because of his difficulties with the language.
