154 25 May. 1939. The Secretary of State. 1.) To SS group leader Günther P a n c k e , Berlin SW 68, Hedemannstr. 24. 80000 Dear Pg. Pancke ! On your letter of 13. d. Mts., with which you encourage me, the as immediate as possible appeal of Prof. Dr. I would like to inform you that, before such a chair meeting, the transfer of the German University in Prague to the immediate administration of the Reich must be carried out, the approval of which will be obtained by the Führer and Reichskanzler of Mr Reichsminister des Inneren in agreement with the Minister of Science, Education and People's Education. Since the summer semester has already begun, a vocation for this semester is therefore practically no longer to be carried out. Furthermore, the appointment of chairs in the interest of the unity of German higher education policy will be provided by the Minister of Education. I therefore recommend that you or Prof. Dr. Saure, because of his desired appointment to Prague, remain personally concerned with the Minister of Science of the Reich, but that the appointment of Prof.Dr.Saure will be granted for the coming winter semester. of Tor h Heil Hitler/! Ihr 2. Z.d.A.
