English Translation

49-9a I therefore urge you to speak to the Czech people in this sense. If we did, the Czech people wouldn't believe us because they don't know us, because they do not know how we are National=Socialists, because it might have suspected national egoism in us, where we only intend to create an adjusted relationship between two peoples who have to understand each other. They live there, we live here. Only a gigantic natural disaster that destroyed our people could bring a one-sided solution. As this is not to be expected, we must somehow understand= agree. Whether we are sympathetic or not is not so much a question of debate. That is irrelevant. It is only important that we give the many millions in Europe a common basis of life and also a common ideal of life. This ideal has so far been disturbed by England. England wanted to keep Europe in trouble, because it saw it as the best place for its insular existence. This source of unrest will ever be affected by the gigantic blows of our defense=. We shall then have the opportunity to give Europe its peace, and you are cordially invited to do so.
