THE RECTOR PRAG , ..30.June..1943. THE GERMAN CARLS-UNIVERSITAT MOZARTPLATZ 2 IN PRAG. RUF: 625-29, 627-80, 643-00 1 3 BU/Ga. Tgb. Nr.... To the 9 AnedwYaendfesseoberupenfünrer, Mr. State Secretary K.H. Frank, heten A306 Prag IV Czernin Palais Obergruppenführer! The accusation of late delivery of the original knowledge about the appointment of the civil school director in general Josef Hofmann as an honorary citizen of the German Karls University strikes me wrongly. The document was sent to Mr Hofmann already on 5 June 1943. I can prove this at the hand of the postal delivery book. The message from your personal speaker SS-Obersturmbannführer Dr. Gies, that the health condition of Hofmann has deteriorated, came to me on 2 June. I then arranged on the same day that the document commissioned for a long time and repeatedly admonished must be issued immediately. This has also happened. On June 5, I announced the dispatch by telex of the document Obersturmbannführer Gies. The disapproval of my administration as rector and the doubts expressed about the credibility and correctness of my official communication of 5.6. I can only interpret myself in such a way that I no longer have any confidence in my work as Rector. I therefore ask that I ask the Minister of Science, Education and Education of the Reich to remove me from my offices as Rector of the German Kails University and as Rector at the German Technical University in Prague. I also intend to make my office available as Rector of the Tetschen-Liebwerd Agricultural University, as this is closely linked to that of the Rector of Technical University. Hil Hitter !
