Professor Thyssen, the representative of chemistry at the Reichsforschungsrat, held a meeting in which questions of distribution were discussed. Professor Gudden, who is a physicist, did not attend this meeting; the discussion was transmitted to him by Professor Pongratz, the representatives of chemistry in the scientific sector of the Army Weapons Office. Occasionally, a visit to Prague by Lieutenant General John of the Military Arms Office, Professor Gudden spoke to him about the questionable utterance without mentioning its name. Lieutenant-General John took the opposite view and stated that he intended to move new research assignments to Prague after the absence of workplaces in the Reich.I have only now received knowledge of the conversation between Gudden and John.
