The Head of Division III Prague, 2 May 1944 III d 92 - 29 Ainisteramt Eing.: 3 MAY 1944 An #-Obergruppenführer Minister of State F r a n k im H a u se Subject: Establishment of a technical sea vocational school in Hungarian Hradisch A few months ago, the Space Management Commission made available to the High Command of the Kriegsmarine on its request submitted by the Wehrmacht authorised representative 2 former Czech school buildings in Hungarian for the establishment of a Technical Sea Vocational School. Today Ministerial Councillor S o w a d e from the High Command of the Kriegsmarine and Ministerial Councillor B o h m from the Reich Ministry of Education visited me to inform me about the plan of the establishment of this school and about the further development. While it has been generally assumed that the Sohule is to be established and designated as a Wehrmacht institution, it has recently been decided, as the gentlemen have informed me, that the maritime vocational schools are under the authority of the teaching administration at the initiative of the Party Chancellery. The High Command of the Kriegsmarine sets up the schools only, provides the teachers from their ranks and constantly finances the schools. I have pointed out to the gentlemen that then the supervision of the school in Ung.Hradisch does not have to lead the Reichser- zziehungsministerium, but the Ministry of Education in Prague-Reichsauftragsverwaltung- and the German State Ministeriun Abteilung III Schulwesen. Since this is a school of special subject, whose central care for the whole empire lies in the hands of Mr Böhm, who is responsible for the S2002 A. St.M. 0-68/44
