VF - 5 a/43 from 29.9.1943. The first result of the investigation about Prof. Erich Tr u n z in the back © vis-à-vis his ad in the "New Day" of 31.1.1943 read: "T. has been in Prague with his family since 23.1.194O. He works at the German Charles University in Prague in the Chair of German Studies. T. is a member of the Reich, a party comrade and a lecturer's association head of the general working group. - Politically detrimental he did not appear so far. Nothing is known here - also in the circles of the Faculty of Philosophy - from a transfer or a departure of the T. to another high school. One reason for a move could not be established either, so that here too the assumption should not be dismissed, that T. only because of the current political situation has the intention to leave the Protectorate." A reliable party comrade appointed by here, who agreed to move Prof. To perform Trunz had an interview with Prau Trunz. Mrs. T. said that her husband reckoned with a convocation and that therefore she intended to give up the apartment in Prague. Furthermore, the child would not tolerate the Prague climate, which forced her to move. Prof. Trunz has at present moved in under the field post number O6460 H 4, Mrs. Truenz is currently staying with her child in Würzburg. There are no longer any connections to Prague. For the characterization of Prof. T., a note recorded here is reproduced by Prof. Dr. Max Ittenbach, Germanist, currently Brussels: ChS-SAWS 141 b.w.
