[Herwig Hamperl in Prague].
Prof. Herwig Hamperl, M.D. (1899-1976), Chairman of the German Institute of Pathology, Charles University, Prague in years 1940-1945. The account of his work in Prague is first of all based on his autobiography (A Pathologist's Life and Evolution), published in 1972 in a German edition only. It describes the history of the university and conditions of work in the German Institute of Pathology 60 years ago. Hamperl recalls here his contemporaries, his relationships with the Czech pathologists, Prof. Sikl and his Czech students. The autopsy and the cause of death of Reinhard Heydrich are reported as well as the situation at the university and in Prague during the war years.
