Ziebura says that AW had to keep FW from finding out that he was reading. (Whether this is a recorded fact or an inference, I'm not sure.)
Having just checked and reread the passage, it sounds like inference to me, based on the fact Wolff was still on the Prussian index.
Did AW read some Wolff at Fritz's suggestion and then tell FW that it was full of things he would agree with, and FW decided to give it a try on the basis of his favorite, not very bookish, son liking it?
This sounds very plausible to me! Especially if AW managed to keep it hidden from Dad how he'd come across Wolff to begin with. The timing fits, and I salute your detective skills once more.
