Dr.von Burgsdorff Under-Secretary of State Prague, 15 June 1940. Prof. Dr. Baeumler and Dr. Leibbrandt of the Office of Rosenberg have been with me and have explained in the presence of the Rector Saure how they think of the High School and the institutes of the high school. It was clear from the presentation that the institutes should be set up at universities with specific tasks. For example, an institute at the University of Hamburg will have to investigate the major questions of world politics, an institution at the Vienna University is doing all the south-east questions and the institute at Charles University in Prague mainly the question of Russians and Ukrainians. The gentlemen realized that, in itself, the whole Charles University had to be employed with these special Eastern questions, especially since there is a Russian and a Ukrainian university here in Prague. However, the gentlemen would like to know that the Institute was founded as a counterpart of the University for these Eastern questions. hair. oiranTh b. ur 8 hapan nort mapn baiipe 26 Raklor taure b
