h I/ copy H-Brigadeführer Dr.Anton K r e i s s l Reichenberg, 12 July 1943. Gauhauptmann des Reichsgaues Sudetenland An -SturmbannführER W o 1 f Authority of the Reichsprotector in_P_r.6i Werter comrade V o 1f ! I took from a briefing on a meeting you had with Pg.Höller and Pg Dr.inzel that there seems to be a misunderstanding regarding our discussion about Prof.Dr.Becking. I would therefore like to state the following: I have an interest in making the question of the usability of Prof. Becking as clear as possible so that the work in the Commission for Art and Writing Research in the Sudeten-German anetalt for national and national research can be activated soon. I myself cannot judge Becking on my own and, above all, I have no positive attitude towards him, since he was just rejected by the party members close to me in the previous political work. My decisive employees point out that B. in the work envisaged for him at the Sudetendeutsche Anstalt für Landes- und Volksforschung could hardly be technically or only difficult to replace. Since you informed me that the appointment of Becking as Head of the Music Department in the Commission for Art and Writing Research would strengthen His position in Prague, which was not annoyed, I pointed out that this punctuation at the Sudetendeutsche Anstalt was not connected with the local seat in Prague. -2- ND- 660/43
