THE RECTOR 15.6.1943 OF THE GERMAN KARLS-UNIVERSITAT PRAG I., V MOZARTPLATZ 2 IN PRAG. FERNSPR 64300 1/ctf To the personal adviser of the Secretary of State SS-Obersturmbannführer Dr.Gies Btco de Sanisfekretees Prag bo Fedisp olehtor in Bühminund mäheer. Betr.: Doz.Dr.Weigel Eing.: 19.JUNI 1943 Letter of 13.5.1943 On the scientific, personal and political suitability of the study council Dr. Wenzel W e i g e 1 for an appointment to the chair of pedagogy as a later successor of Professor Otto, I have heard the Faculty and the teaching group leaders of the university. I attach the two opinions. According to the faculty, the scientific achievement of Dr. Weigel is not such that he can be eligible for Otto's successor. The writing of the faculty also gives information about the alleged persecution of Weigel by Professor Otto. Personal things never played a collegue when Weigel was rejected. As can be seen from the opinion of the Gaudozent Federation leader Prof. Kuschinsky, the political behaviour of Weigel was by no means clear. .p.ND-272b/42
