English Translation

-2 Government and the formation of the Czech-Slovak Republic in the old borders still in 1943. Fear of Bolshevism is only present in vengeable Czech circles, since here, panslawist friendship feelings don't exist and the German p a e aq funk in the forums adapted to the Czech mentality cannot refute out of consideration for the German censorship can be dismissed as propaganda. A great role is played by memories of the years 1917/18 in Bohemia and by the belief in the analogous return of the revolutions of 1918, in which, after a military weakening of the empire, a Czech-Slovak foreign government under Beneß-Hasaryk has brought within itself the freedom of the Czech Maffia and established the Czech-slo-Wak state. On this mindset, all the speeches by Beneš and his foreign government, which appeal to the homeland of the Czechs via the London radio station, and now in concrete terms, are lifting up sabotage at detail. If these slogans are not complied with, the Czech people are threatened with the most severe punishments in the Heinat. In summary, it can be said that at present there are no greater, outwardly visible consequences of the described attitude and the ongoing incitement.
