As a left-wing socialist , he wrote to Adolf Hitler on June 28, 1925 ; of National Socialism must work against the greed for profit of the contractor for the betterment of the workers and, if necessary, shoulder to shoulder with the Social Democrats to fight. The answer from private secretary Rudolf Hess emphasized the connection between the national and the social, which led Tempel to join the NSDAP . In February 1926 he founded the National Socialist German Student Union (NSDStB) with others and became its first Reichsführer (1926–1928). After internal conflicts, he resigned in June 1928.
