I also wanted to wait and check how they prove themselves professionally before I transferred the management to a new primary. In August, Dr. Regis, who is assigned to the Oberlandrat, requested the immediate dismissal of Dr. Hansmann and the entrustment of Dr Hettfleisch, Primar of the surgical department, which is only in Jglau for a short time, with the management of the hospital. I then spoke with Dr. Hansmann and advised him to resign voluntarily.In the beginning, Dr. Hansmann saw a strong reduction, which he did not deserve as one of the most proven and leading employees of the former S D P and leader of the Jglauer Germanism.Only after lengthy debates,in which I clarified the factual necessity, did he agree to his voluntary resignation.However, he demanded that this take place in a form that takes account of his merits as national champion. Dr. Hansmann did not deny himself to this request in 1933 after the dissolution of the N S D A P and the very strong national persecutions in our territory, but founded the S D P local group.In tenacious and truly unheard of diligent work and with the greatest personal sacrifice he led and achieved that in the case of the He was very popular with the population and enjoyed the complete confidence of the Germans here, and has maintained this confidence to this day.He has also proved himself in the critical days of September and October, but has remained here and held the Germans together.Despite these achievements, he has also been a member of the European Parliament. Dr. Hansmann never sought any personal benefits or claimed material recognition.He also demanded no material compensation during the short period of time when he was in charge of the hospital this year, and when I even categorically offered it to him, although he did not offer it.
