Evidence

Unlike some editors (such as Hoffmann-Rehmie), Weber focused more on making a living from his publishing business than on a leadership role within the Heimat community itself. That he was comparatively more unyielding in his demands for Heimkehr demonstrates that personal character and outlook could hinder coping with loss more than active leadership duties. — Andrew Demshuk, The Lost German East, 948
