English Translation

2 2 Also bow before him, for this unknown soldier could have been a German Prague as well. Now it is strange for all, but especially for the Czechs, that on the military side, according to the existing rule, the memorial is greeted, while the party, with its divisions and also the Waffen-SS, offered the tribute to its relatives before this memorial, on the grounds that it is a place of honor for the deserters of the k.u.k. ==References== In the days of the invasion in March 1939 and also in the following months until the outbreak of the war, the laying down of the rule of law and the order of duty of the Wehrmacht may have been a skilful and friendly gesture for the Czech people. Today, however, such a declaration of honour seems completely superfluous to all people, especially with regard to the opposing orders of the Reichsprotector, the Party and its Glie- derungen on the one hand and the Wermacht on the other hand. If they leave the Czechs their memorial and their pylons until the end of the war - a duty of horror should be lifted for German soldiers. I would like to suggest that the deputy of the Pührer or, if necessary, the Führer himself makes a decision about this and that the O K W will then be instructed accordingly. Dr. Jury (Gauleiter and Reichs- statthalter Dr. Jury).
