15a Group Colleges Prague, April 23, 1942 Dr.v. B o th Originally presented to the Herrn Abteilungsleiter I. Last spring, the Rector, as Special Representative for the Slavic scientific institutions in Prague, was made available from funds from the People's Fund 194l 10,000 RM once for the implementation of the preparatory work of the planned Reichsstiftung für Slavische Forschung. For the Volkstumsfond l942, 250,000 RM had been applied for by Group I for the Reichsstiftung and the Atlas for Bohemia and Moravia, with the following foundation: The Reichs Foundation has the task of researching the 1 intellectual, cultural and economic relations between German and Slavic peoples, especially in Bohemia and Mähren, using the Slavic scientific institutions existing in Prague. The large atlas work is intended to summarise the results of national research in Bohemia and Moravia in all fields of science and practical life in technically and effectively reliable maps. The amount of 250,000 RM is intended for the consideration of personnel and material expenses. The approach is based on the estimates of the budget of the Reichsstiftung. Z-Budget has deleted the approach, since the Reichstia ng does not yet exist. After its foundation, it would not make any difficulties to obtain the necessary funds in the supplementary budget or from general funds of the Imperial Protector. 58497 857 hoy VA - fret bfr.
