The paragraph reads: "This duty towards the homeland and. the rich must be especially serious in these days. For a millennium, since the invasions of the Turks and Mongol hordes, the fate of Europe has not passed by the abyss as hard as in this greatest of all wars. We acknowledge gratefully that it is again the German people of soldiers and thinkers who have begun the Way of the Cross and fills his holy mission to be the savior of Western culture and its moral values with an enormous array of soldiers' and civilian achievements, but also of sacrifices and suffering. The Czech peasant, too, regards Bolshevism as his mortal enemy, to whom he is irreconcilably opposed. We are aware that everything that is sacred and expensive to us would be destroyed if the flood of the mud of Bolshevikism poured over Europe. Therefore, we want to work with all our might for the tasks we have set in our homeland, the first of which is to increase agricultural production in all areas. The victims of blood on the battlefield were spared our people, the more we want all our forces to produce more and deliver them honestly. Any other attitude would be terrible self-deception and betrayal of the homeland." eie bryane The Department of Cultural Policy will have to be reported on it. Bik 37/3.43. 1.) Note.
