VIII. Report on the study of the protectorate students of Czech ethnicity at universities of the Great German Reich in the summer semester 1944. (1.5. - 31.7.44) 1) Number of students in the winter semester 1944: In the summer term 1944 studied: 531 students, of which 32 were students. 6 students, finished: 12 " interrupted: 33 11 final number summer semester:47o students. 2) Selection: The newly planned applicants for the summer semester 1944 were subjected to the same racial, social, political, SD-moderate, 'technical and general human selection as for the winter semester 1943/44. For this purpose, Dr. Schuh Ausleselehrgangen took place in Nothof near Unhoscht again under the direction of the head of the department of the Reichsstudentenwerk. They confirmed in their results the findings of the already earlier starting selection camps. In the principle meaning of this selection is pointed out to the report of the winter semester 1943/44. From the point of view of the total use of war, the selection camps planned for the summer holidays in 1944 as a preliminary stage to the Winter Semester 1944/45 for 2000 Czech Abitur students (1943, 1944) were cancelled, as a new immigration barrier was issued at the universities. 3) Recruitment of the student leaders to the Czech Action. The attitude of the student leaders has not changed substantially in relation to the winter semester 1943/44. However, the examinations, meetings and visits carried out by the representative of the Reichsstudentenführer resulted in an increased willingness to accept the necessity of studying in Chechnya. The attitude of the student leaders was therefore more positive than in 1943, despite some negative votes. The rejection is more due to local and personal adjustment. All in all, the students' leaders' efforts to cope with the problems and tasks assigned to them are to be recognized and to be prepared for these tasks also in their staff. Also in the incoming reports, a better maneuverability and ability to assess proved to be early.
