Prague-Bubentsch, 16 January 1943 Security service of the Reichsführer-44 Sochsenweg SD section Prague telex 774-44 III - VA 3742 - ktetits CT M 30. JAN. 1943 To the Secretary of State at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia 4-group leader K.H. Fr a n k Prague. Betr.: Publication of the magazine "Slavia", Prague. Introduction: Without. The magazine " Slavia", whose last issue appeared about 1 1/2 years ago, had with its contributions in Czech, 0. Russian and partly also German language a scientifically not small effect in the south-east states. The Reinhard-Heydrich-Stiftung, in conjunction with the Südostgemeinschaft Wiener Hochschulen (Rector 4-Sturmbannführer K n o 1 1), is now to be taken over as an organ for all philological and strictly literary questions of the "Slawentum", Verlag Kohlhammer, Stuttgart and Prague. The publication is intended by the professors H o f m a n /Prague (Indogermanistics and Slavic Studies), L i e w h r /Vienna (general Slavic studies), R i p p l /Pragues Bohemistics in the philological sense), S c h n e w e i s /Prag (border questions of Slavic ethnography), B i t n e r /Poser (German-Czech interrelations) and G e s e - d d d dakteur is the study council Dr. R. On the part of the representative for the Reinhard-Heydrich-Stiftung, it will be argued that the title "Slavia" should be retained, since it will only be possible under this cover that the timepiece, which in future will contain only German contributions, will enter the South-East. If the title were to be changed, it would be necessary to obtain a new permit, which would delay the matter once 2a8-043, and make it appear impossible to do so. The name "Slavia" appears objectively justified, since the magazine should be limited to purely philo- logical-literary subjects.
