English Translation
- 1 2 - V popularity, as with us; the Czech official is also appreciated by the Germans for his qualitative work as well as here; the name of the Czech artist, musician of typical Czech music - has at least the same with the Germans, if not a higher splendour than with us ; the Czech Atlet is regarded as the same capacity with the German as with ours; the czech scholar is in equal esteem with the germans and glorious reputations etc. etc. And since you believe that the German leadership should have an interest in robbing all these capable co-workers of their home country and eliminating them from the construction work for the Great German Reich? Continue eternally, what enormous tasks of social, economic and other nature will approach the German Reich after the end of the war! The D.R. will need everyone who is going to make an active effort. A rationally considering person cannot imagine that the coach leadership should have an interest in eliminating millions of very capable and useful people to work together. On the contrary, the German Reich expects all people of good will to have the most intensive support in its plan to master such enormous joint tasks, and thus to move on with these fantasies! Let us trust the words of the leader and Chancellor of the Reich Adolf Hitler, who gave us a people's and cultural autonomy, as well as the broadest possibility to develop ourselves on our national soil according to our ability. To this end, however, it is indispensable to make up for individual inconsistencies broken by the former regime. We are still faced with the grateful task of showing the peculiarity and nature of today's Germans to the Czech public.
