OKT. 1941 PragIV Czernin-Palais Betr. The following is noted to the letter of 13.9.41 from the Prag-Kontaktr of the Nordic Society, which is also dated back to the annexes: 1. An event with Marie Hamsun will also be announced in the SD section, according to the enclosed circular no. On page 3, however, Mrs Hamsun is likely to be overcrowded and therefore no longer eligible. 2. Particular interest may be expected at present for lectures on Finland, It is therefore proposed to consider organising the photographic lecture by Günther Thaer (circular No. 19, page 6) in Prague, possibly together with the Volksbildungswerk or KaF. 3. Further events, especially musical ones, should not be practical in Prague z,Zt, because the German population is over-fed with events. On the other hand, it should be considered whether one of the proposed lectures in Brno or another German-influenced city could be held in the Protectorate, as these cities complain so often about being involved in Prague. A lecture by Prof. Dr. Walther Schulz from Halle is expected to be particularly effective. Consideration could also be given to the photographic presentation by SS-Obersturmbannführer Weigel (Rundschreiben Nr. 19, page 6).
