In relation to the university question, it was established that the installation of Gerlach in the teaching establishment of the German Karls University is neither possible nor possible for the day. It is more important, according to local views, that Gerlach, the elementary school teacher in the area of Dresden, create a greater possibility for his extracurricular work. It would be necessary to examine whether Gerlach can be taken over in the field of the local school administration and there is extensive freedom for his writing and scientific work. It was proposed to transfer the further persecution of the matter to the SD. Heil Hitler! Chief Sturmführer Office of the State Secretary County Police President in Bohemia and Moravia. Eing.: 26.
