English Translation
750 - 2 - The Czech people are consistently capable and working together. We acknowledge his achievements without restriction. It is a people who soberly and really thinks and therefore does not believe the false prophets who let it down, nor those "apostles" who want to spin into a new romanticism in order to disguise his healthy mind and clear view for the new tasks in the Greater German area. The Czech people not only have their right to exist recognized by us in every way, but will take their place in the Great German Empire and be valued in it as a valuable link. I have recently had the opportunity to speak with a number of foreign journalists who agreed to assure me that they had expected to find the greatest unrest in the Protectorate, a low economy and constant police action. The gentlemen were invariably surprised that in the Protectorate the whole life goes its mrmal course and all responsible people are trying to work hand in hand." Question: "Have special measures been taken in the Moravian-Ostrava region in view of the Polish border barrier and in light of the persecution of the Czech population in the deserted area, by Polish organs?" Answer: "In view of Polish troop concentration, the necessary German security measures have of course been carried out in the territory of Moravia and Ostrava in a strength corresponding to the given situation. I would like to point out that the Czech people, who have already been subjected to unlimited terror in recent months, are fleeing this area in a number of ways.
