Circumventricular Organs and Brain Fluid Environment
This volume provides a picture of the state of the art and of the perspectives opened by new powerful approaches to the study of the structure and function of Circumventricular Organs (CVOs). Studies on the CVOs reflected in this book comprise many aspects, from cellular elements to the whole organism: the accessibility of these organs for chemical signals, signal (ligand)-receptor interactions, the transfer of information to distinct brain regions, the effects induced in these brain regions and the influence on the regulation of body functions including autonomic and behavioral alterations. Some of these aspects strongly depend upon the microenvironment of the cells involved in this cascade of events. Therefore, the brain fluid environment in its broadest sense is a central focus. This excellent work is therefore an up-to-date report on interdisciplinary approaches and concepts, offering new insights into the complex phenomena of brain function, and shows directions in which to proceed."
The European Volunteer 1
Let’s now take a look at the content of this new issue: we begin with the employment of the Nederland Brigade on the Oranienbaum Front, followed by an article by Scott Revell on Sepp Krafft, the history of the Spanish volunteeers on the Eastern Front, Peter Mooney’s article on Kurt Sametreiter, the employment of Pring Eugen in Operation Weiss, a memoir of Karl Heinz Decker and finally the second part of the article dedicated to the formation of the Sturmbrigade Frankreich. Hoping that I have made everyone happy, I wish you enjoyable reading and a goodbye until the next issue.

Degradierte Doktoren
Insgesamt 183 Doktoren der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität wurde in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus der akademische Grad entzogen« weil sie unter dem Blickwinkel des Regimes eines »deutschen akademischen Titels nicht würdig« erschienen. Hochrangige Wissenschaftler, wie der Politologe Karl Löwenstein oder der Widerstandskämpfer Kurt Huber, zählten zu den Betroffenen, denen ein Ausschuss aus Rektor und Dekanen das Recht einer Doktorwürde nachträglich aberkannte. Der Impuls hierzu kam aus München: Schon 1933 regte der bayerische Studentenschaftsführer Karl Gengenbach bei den staatlichen Behörden an, den Doktorentzug als politisches Repressionsmittel zu nutzen. - War der Universität vor 1945 aufgrund der gesetzlichen Vorschriften nur ein geringer Entscheidungsspielraum zugemessen, so tat sie sich auch lange Zeit nach Kriegsende schwer im Umgang mit dem Unrecht der nationalsozialistischen Degradierungen. - Ein ausführlicher Dokumentationsteil ergänzt die Erforschung des Doktorentzugs in München. Er stellt erstmals jeden einzelnen Titelentzug zwischen 1933 und 1945 dar und gibt den degradierten Doktoren ein Gesicht
