The article deals with the participation of German diplomacy in negotiations concerning the hiring of professors to USP, established in 1934, and to São Paulo's Medical School (Escola Paulista de Medicina), created a year earlier. The Third Reich's diplomacy sought to ensure the professorship to the Germans, but at the same time, the Jew ascendancy of those appointed to USP originated conflicts and impasses, that were not so intensive in the case of the pathologist hired to the Medical School in 1936, Walter Büngeler.
