After rejection of the UK request of 6.1, 41 is considered for the scientific assistant Dipl.-Ing. Herbert Steinbichler lt. R.Zl.3111-38/39 only Dipl.-Ing. Alexander Czernin. According to R. Zl. 891-40/41 of 18.12. the following should be noted : 1) Of my 4 assistants, i.e. scientific assistants 3 have been called up for military service and only Dipl.-Ing. Ludwig Zagler has remained. However, he has to do numerous orders of the Luftzeuggruppe 17 in addition to his assistant and does not spend enough time for the completion of the order of the OKH. 2) The task of the army requires the participation of a technically trained machine engineer and it is well known to the rector that a large number of teaching cancells of mechanical engineering are sometimes without assistants, some have to get along with a single assistant and that the previous attempts to find a replacement for the relevant teaching cancels have failed. The Rectorate itself is best placed to assess whether replacements are possible in other ways.
