English Translation

4h - 6 - (Klinzel speaks as SudetenGerman), must be continued even today, however under more favourable conditions for us, It is a fact that we have put this space into the realm by force. This space is no longer inhabited by Czechs, who are able to drill a dagger in the back of Germany in the order of a power hostile to us. This space is no longer isolated, but rather arranged for the empire. We also know how strongly this space is subject to the cultural influences of the empire today. The fact that in the heart of the German people a foreign people is trying to assert its existence has not been proven. One could, of course, forcefully repress them, but nan could not narrow down their ethnic substance. As long as we are there, the Czech thinks, the possibility of a favorable development on our part is open to us, The Czechs wait, they say themselves, as long as Germany still has to fight for victory, so long we have hope to be something again and become something. The Czechs did not agree with the development so far; they saw between the fear of Adolf Hitler and Beneseh, who continued to threaten that he would have them locked up. The Czech people were waiting and have not yet turned out to be in the new forms. But at the moment when the struggle for the kingdom is completed, who they go about and try to develop the new method of their struggle for popularism, they will try to disguise / their true attitude. They will masterfully understand how to develop a form of appearance that seems suitable to deceive us. They will acquire the German language in order to be able to assert themselves, at home they will strive to keep their people, their language, etc. alive in the house itself, in the community, in town, in factory etc. The confrontation with this people would continue and cannot only be led by the authorities of the empire, who have the power in their hands.
