Letter From Bruno Schweizer To The Ss Race And Settlement Main Office, June 8, 1937, Bruno Schweizer

Bruno Schweizer

Bruno Schweizer outlines proposals for further research in the 7 and 13 communities, including collection of sagas and history texts, creation of a magazine in the Cimbrian language, collection of photographs with a focus on racial biology, mapping of local place names, collection of spoken recordings, networking with local community members for further folk studies, ancestry, racial biology and history research. He proposes a trip with no more than 3-4 participants to avoid attracting too much attention and cites the need for Italian language fluency and transportation requirements.

Recommendation Letter For Bruno Schweizer From Karl Alexander Von Müller, April 9, 1936, Karl Alexander Von Muller

Bruno Schweizer

K.A. von Müller describes Bruno Schweizer's work at the South-Southeast Institute of the University of Munich and his focus on dialect and folk studies. He emphasizes Schweizer's knowledge and organizing skills and states that Schweizer only left the Institute due to its refocusing on ethnopolitical questions requiring knowledge of southern Slavic, Hungarian and Romanian languages. A strong recommendation, presumably written to the Ahnenerbe.
