1 Pede rom 2. 12. 39. Aeteith Pig rS D AP - uud getung It is a great pleasure for me, at the first rally of the National Socialist German Workers' Party on the Old Town Square in Prague - as deputy and on behalf of the Lord Reich Protector, His Excellency Freiherr von Neurath - today here the Reichsorganisationsleiter Dr. Robert L e y and our Gauleiter Konrad H e n l e n e n h e n t i n h a t h e s . I also welcomed the representatives of the Party, the State and the Wehrmacht and all the people gathered here. In addition, I greet all Germans in the towns and villages of Bohemia and Moravia from this historic site in the capital of the Protectorate, which is said to be a symbol and a sign of the strength and power of the National Socialist German Empire. I would like to say a few words to this rally. It is of particular importance to two sides, one for the Germans, the other for the Czechs as well.
