Preliminary note: Order issued on the letter of the Reich Minister for Science, Education and People's Education - WP 1718 - dated 16.7.43. Professor Häupl is a recognized capacity in technical terms, but in political terms he is quite inadequate for the local area in particular, so that there should be no doubt about his assignment from Prague to Berlin. On the contrary, it is argued from here that a dismissal from Prague can only be welcomed because of his non-political attitude. From here, H. was reported to i-Obergruppenführer Frank on several occasions. It should be noted that H. stayed in Norway from 1919 to 1934; he also took a Norwegian woman as his wife. Due to his long stay in the north, National Socialism remained completely foreign to him. Since October 1934 H. in Prague, where he showed a quite liberal attitude in the Jewish question before the collapse of Czechoslovakia. 21. tAe 1 y-Sturmbännfüthrer CCVE-87a/41 141
