RyN2050 The commissioner of the Führer Berlin W 351 for the monitoring of the laden 7th June 1940 spiritual and ideological MM Call: 22 95 41 1605/R/M. Training and education of the NSDAP. BÜRO D. REICHSPR Herr do:70 VI. 1940 Reich Protector Reichsminister Freiherr v. Neurath, presented to the Herrn Reichsprotector Prague 107 t. Very revered Baron v. Neurath! AA nvi On the basis of our consultation held in Berlin, I inform you that, as I said, I spoke to the Reichs-Wlofort ae2 Education Minister about the establishment of institutes of the m epan High School. In principle, as far as the M Research Department is concerned, we agree that the two appointments of the Institute's personalities by me follow and that research tasks are given by me. There were some organizational and financial issues left to be discussed. Pe1aa For the Prague project discussed, I believe that the state has to appear here, since the city of Prague as a non-German city cannot provide support. For the Prague University, which naturally addresses many questions of the East as a whole, a branch of the High School in the form of an Eastern Institute or an external office for Eastern Europe would therefore be to be established. The Rector has already envisaged the Clementinum (Hus Institute) for the research facility. The Russian-Historical Archive is under the Prague Interior Ministry and is owned by the Czech State. In addition, the Ukrainian University and other academic institutions are also part of the Czech state, which are of value for our research tasks. b.w.
