12 Ministerial Councillor, Prague, 15 January 1943. Dr. H e c k e l rgerd Loa Eadvn 6ex ta bohn u) Tlancen. To C -8. JAN. 1943 Ministerial Councillor Dr. G e s . Subject: Award of the Cross of War to Prof. Drs. Kü n outside the normal quota on December 5, 1943. you have informed Mr von B o t h that it would be possible to give Professor K o n the Cross of War by direct means. Professor K u n has been on a proposal list several times without success as professor of the Technical University in B r n and as head of the monument ante. Be it work in German interest is necessary and since, in view of the special relations of Brno, he places great importance on an external recognition, I would warmly welcome it if the Order could be awarded to him at the next opportunity.
