A 426/43 / Telegram/ 56 His Excellency to the Leader Adolf H i t 1 e r , Headquarter of the Führer. I ask Your Excellencies to return to the anniversary of the 15th anniversary. March 1939, on which day you created the indestructible foundations of a new development of the countries of Bohemia and Moravia within the framework of the Great German Empire by taking over protection over the Czech people, as I receive from you every year a few words of gratitude. The growth of the Bolshevik threat, which has reached its peak this year, has best revealed to the entire population of Bohemia and Moravia what a source of security has become for all of us the kingdom protected by the weapons of your insurmountable troops. In this awareness, the Czech people, in a manifestation, also recently announced their decision to bring all the forces necessary for the total war effort of the Empire to the highest level alongside the rest of Europe. This is our common pledge to the Reich and our response to its enemies. President Dr. Emil Hácha.
