o6 - 3 -. let the understanding of this sacrifice be awakened. Remember the hard burdens of war imposed on them. They live not only far from the home of their parents but far from their homeland on foreign earth and are exposed day after day to the unformities of the weather, frost, mud, cold, snow and ice. I know that you my dear Júngen and girl do not want to follow our brave soldiers. You will want to fulfil your duty in such a harsh way! If, these days, the press reported that soldiers, far away from their homeland, in the midst of all their worries, made toys in the hard-fought area of the Wolkhov in the few days or hours without fight, from the simplest means for the children of their fallen comrades, then I think with pride that you all, even in childhood, in recent months in all the camps of the children's land dispatch of Bohemia and Moravia, have also produced in countless numbers of children' s toys, and now to give it to soldiers' children as well at Christmas. You know that this war is a total war, a war that no one can escape and escape. All the forces are strained into the enormous war production and it is quite natural that fleezy and skillful hands, which in previous years produced millions of children's toys throughout the year in order to please the toddlers at Christmas, must now be ready for other work. Today they are forging weapons with which the enemy is beaten or they are even outside and hold a rifle.
