EWALD von MASSOW TELEGRAMM-ADRESSE:AKADIANST/FERSPEAKER: 117581 BANKKONTO: DRESDNER BANK, STADTZENTRALE, BERLINE W8 Berlin, the 18th century. August 1939 f/<2 OUR SYMBOLS (In case of reply marks) 0/AI/11/11 Mr Aelaan IHR ZEICHEN State Secretary Karl Hermann F r a n k at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia Prague Dear State Secretary! This year's departure camp of about 200 exchange students and teachers selected by the German Academic Exchange Service will be held from 15.-2l. The camp is to achieve a final political and spiritual orientation of the travellers by means of appropriate lectures and personal contact of the outbound exchange students and teachers with the kame- rades that have returned from abroad. In this year, the camp is of increased importance insofar as the outgoing students and young academics will occupy a particularly prominent position abroad in the political present situation of the Reich. The German Academic Foreign Minister, you, very venerable State Secretary, is getting tired of the opening of this camp on Friday, in the l5. Furthermore, at a time between 16 and 20 September you will be asked to give a lecture on a topic of your special work area to the foreign camp participants. The question of the establishment of the German Protectorate on Bohemia and Moravia is still at the heart of the discussion by foreign countries. It is to be expected that the German young academics will be addressed to the questions that arise in this context.The German Academic Exchange Service would therefore be obliged to thank you in particular if you would talk about the legal status of the Protectorate and about the coexistence of Germans and Czechs in the protectorate area. Th Mmmmy Chief Government Councillor General General SS Group Leader.
