Preface.
This work was created as commissioned. It is part of research that will be carried out within the inspection for suitability tests. When it comes to the psychological selection of young officers, the question always arises as to whether in individual cases belonging to the old soldier family is not more important than the results of an aptitude test. The work makes it likely that dispositions that produce military and other discipline can be preserved throughout generations in individual clans. However, the assessment of the probability of the old family quality being present in each individual case is disturbed by the completely uncertain involvement of the mother's disposition and by the possibility of an exceptional failure. The aptitude test of the individual applicant is necessary in any case, but it can be made easier are made by knowing about the applicant's clan characteristics. Knowledge of the family history of German military families is therefore necessarily part of the professional knowledge of the German army psychologist.
Berlin, March 1940.
D. Boß, Lieutenant General and Inspector.
Dr. Simoneit, Ministerial Councilor and Director.
