 Reich had several affairs during his marriage to Annie Reich , which ended in 1933 after he began a serious relationship in May 1932 with Elsa Lindenberg , a dancer and pupil of Elsa Gindler . He was living with Lindenberg in Germany when Hitler became Chancellor in January 1933 . On March 2 that year the Nazi newspaper Völkischer Beobachter published an attack on Der Sexuelle Kampf der Jugend . Reich and Lindenberg left for Vienna the next day . They moved from there to Denmark , where Reich was excluded from the Danish Communist Party in November 1933 ( without ever having joined it ) because of his promotion of teenage sex and the publication that year of The Mass Psychology of Fascism , which they regarded as " counterrevolutionary . " There were multiple complaints about his promotion of abortion , sex education , and the attempted suicide of a teenage patient . According to Turner , when Reich 's visa expired , it was not renewed .
