English Translation
0f - 12 - Protectorate and the active and significant contribution of war performance, which takes place here again every day, would not be possible if the majority of the Czech people shared the views of this man, which was just described here, who again categorized himself as a leader far from the shot. The overwhelming majority of the creating Tehechic people of all states is also in the light of the recent Eastern European events from Finland to the Aegean Sea of the newly strengthened view that' Beneš's policy suffered its final shipwreck in 1938, that restoration of the old ČsR is impossible and that in view of the election between a Bolshevik East and Central Europe the Czech place lies within the framework of the latter. The results of l938 and l939 have triggered a deep process of revision in the historical-political thinking of the Czech people, but of course this process has not covered all circles and not 2 in the same mass. Of course, there are still little proven supporters and more interested parties of the former system, on which such propaganda could not remain without influence. The Beneš tactic of two irons in the fire, the Trojan horse, is the key to the events that are grouped around the high treason process of Prime Minister Eliáš. They show quite the stamp of the tactics that Beneš has revealed to us in a grateful way. Thus, the German leadership in Bohemia and Moravia faced a psychological war-related situation, which dictated to her the march route to a large extent. It is clear that the development of the possibilities decided on in the autonomy statute had to be affected to the strongest extent by this war-related defensive position. Moreover, the shared guiding principles of Beneš's policy also seem to us to have an essential external political value. The establishment of the Reichsprotektorate has caused a massive fall over the Reich, it has been raised to the cause of the Second World War, because in it the urge of the Empire towards the East, the aggressive Nazi policy against poor small Czechoslovakia, and the slogans are from the whole arsenal of the opposite side, so that an unbearable degree would have been reached.
