Prom Prof. E. Oppikofer,
President of the Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital,
University Clinic of the Municipal Hospital.
To the Passport Department of the British Consulate
Sir,
In confirmation of our telephone conversation of today, I
have pleasure in committing my remarks concerning Dr Friedrich
SCURMANN, aged 29. to paper.
1. His character . Dr SCHURMANN, of German birth, brought up
in the Protestant faith, has been since 2.1.36., Assistant
doctor in the Ear, Nose and Throat Department of the Municipal
Hospital, Basle. (Buergerspital, Basle). I value him as a
clever,diligent and reliable doctor: he is well thought of also
by his fellow Assistants, at v/hose disposal he has invariably
placed himself readily and cheerfully.
2. His Medical qualificat ions. He is the Senior Assistant
doctor of the hospital and has done four year*s specializing,
in fact he was ready to set up as a specialist. Since the
mobilisation of Dr Labhardt, the second doctor in command of
this hospital, Dr Schurmann has been able to relieve me of
difficult cases and to take over responsibilities from me 8
Our Clinic is at present very much dependent on his services
as out of a total of five Assistants, almost one half are
absent owing to Military Service. I see no reason to expect
any improvement in this situation in the next few months and
therefore on 26.12.39.> I wrote to the Directorate of the
Municipal Hospital asking them to make a specific request to the
Police for the extension of Dr Schumann^ permis de sejour
here: this was done on 31 . 12 . 39 .> and I have not as yet received
any answer from the Police Department. (Aliens Department).
3. Ilis political orientation . Dr SCHURMANN, as I and his
fellow Assistants know for certain^ loathes the present German
regime and has no intention of going back to Germany. Pie was
therefore grateful when the post of Assistant doctor in Bahrein
was offered to him.in September, 1939.
