November 1943 ) Dear Minister of State, /2010 dear party comrade Frank! The statement on the award of Professor G i e r a c h is by the speaker of my ministry, Ministerial Councillor Dr. I have already dealt with the case on the basis of Mr Henlein's letter, and have come to the same opinion as you are representing. Difficulties arising from the special nature of Professor Gierach in the faculty to which he belongs, including complaints of his teaching activities, must not allow the Reich and the National Socialist government to deny a fighter for German ethnicity against Chechnya and Judaism. I have therefore lifted my objection to the award of Gierach. If the award by Professor Gie- rach - for example by re-emerging appointment plans to Prague or something similar - makes it difficult, then I am counting on your understanding of perhaps necessary decisions. However, I must reserve the right to review the procedure of the profesor M e t z. If Mr Metz Minister of State F r a n k Prague IV Czerninpalais St.M.$O-170h/42
