As I understand, Heidegger was asked by the editor to remove the dedication and 
did not completely remove it but had it inside the book. But I am no expert, 
it's just what the Wiki says.

O.K.

Re:

> Heidegger was never wrong about Husserl

Cf.:

Finally, there is the matter of Heidegger's treatment of his former teacher, 
Edmund Husserl. Husserl founded the philosophical school of phenomenology and 
had an international reputation equal to that of Heidegger. Husserl was also a 
Jew. He fell under the edict of the racial cleansing laws and was denied the 
use of the University library at Freiburg. ... Apologists for Heidegger ... 
have sought to exonerate him from any personal responsibility for the fate of 
Husserl. They point out that Heidegger never signed any edicts specifically 
limiting Husserl's access to the university facilities. Yet this narrowly 
construed defense hardly absolves Heidegger of his complicity as an agent in 
carrying out Nazi anti-Jewish edicts, edicts that he knew would have a 
devastating impact on former friends and colleagues. Nor is any explanation 
possible that would redeem Heidegger from the shameful act of removing his 
dedication to his mentor Husserl from Being and Time
 when that work was reissued in 1941.
