Schmitt now had closer relations with the Nazi leadership and on 20 February 1933, he, along with Hermann Göring, took part in a meeting that Adolf Hitler had with German industrialists, at which Schmitt made an election campaign donation to the Nazis of RM 10,000.
Schmitt je od tada u još užoj vezi s nacistima, a 20. veljače 1933. zajedno s Hermannom Göringom, sudjelovao je na sastanku kojeg je sazvao Adolf Hitler s njemačkim industrijalcima, na kojemu je Schmitt pomogao nacističku političku kampanju s 10 000 Reichsmarka.
