In February of this year, I examined the substantive requirements for the start of the marketing authorisation operation, and the reason for this was that an attempt to obtain authorisation was initially intended to provide certain documents on the basis of which the final decision could be prepared. In order to take advantage of the summer semester 1941, there was a great deal of haste, so it was unfortunately no longer possible to inform all the posts in advance. On the basis of the newspaper note you know, 221 Czech students searched for admission to study, of which 36 students were selected for racial and health examination, for examination in the German language and for political evaluation. Of these students, 11 students study medicine at Heidelberg University, 9 doctors at Würzburg University, 12 technicians at Stuttgart University of Technology, 3 forest students at Terandt Forest College and 1 mountain student at Freiberg Mountain Academy. 3 German students were employed to assess the behaviour of Czech students in Heidelberg, Würzburg and Stuttgart. Further measures are not planned at the moment. In this context, I would like to point out that in the first few days following the publication of the newspaper note about 135o Czech students had filled the required questionnaires, but that after the counter-propaganda of the London station the interest in the action suddenly ceased.
