123a 123a - 5 - Hau: "You are wrong, you were arrested because of the flag!" Schwejk: "With the flag that was so! Jch go to the business of Mr. Patral, because he is also German folk comrade. He has been able to prove that he is not the real son of the old Hermm Patral because his mother was then with a real German .. well.. and his mother was now very much praised for it, because she, well.. and for that this son was accepted into the party. He gets now also a special food card and lo dkg butter more, he can also sell flags and pictures of Hitler. He offered me a flag about 5o crowns. Jch wanted however one for lo Kronen. He said that for lo Kronen I could only buy a "pendrek" (Bärendreck!). Jch asked what kind of "Pendrek", and he said: "Well, take a picture of Hitleri" Then I rather took the flag. Jch hung the flag out and then a German gentleman asked me why I did this. It was not an order to fly to embellish Prague. It was not in the Jnteresse of the people's community etc. ... So Jeh drew the flag again and pushed it under the bed. The Lord said this was an insult. So Jh went with the flag to the door with O0. There I put on a beautiful German spell that I recently bought in a German shop: "Don't forget the cleanliness and take a look at your German dress!" They have even more beautiful German sayings in the shop. But the gentleman from the police told himself again. That's why I was arrested. But I didn't mean it bad!" Hau:"I thought that you only acted out of stupidity!" Schwejk:"It was the meeting at the Brenner! When the meeting lasted three hours, I said to myself, "Now the victory is not far away!" because in school I learned that Napoleon's command was half victory.But Hitler's order is a complete victory and when I heard that Hitler ordered the Mussoline for three hours it is certain that England and America have already been defeated." Hau:" Aher How do you know what Hitler said there?" Schwejk:" Jch think to me that Hitler said "Dear Duce, I am disappointed. They are not as brilliant as they were 4 months ago. Jher fleet should win, you promised, but now they are afraid. They wanted to occupy Ágypt in three weeks? Where are Jher aircrafts? From today they will go to England with Jher's army and I will fill Monte Carlo. The song "We ride against Engelland" must be sung immediately Italian. You must immediately return your German names to the dead German heroes. You must not annex the dead South Tyroleans!" Hau:"Which dead do you mean?" Schwekl: "No, the grave inscriptions in South Tyrol. That's why Mussolini would be called to the Brenner. After the meeting, the two of them then "played "!" Hau:" Are you really so stupid or just pretending?" Schwejk:" Jch was freed from the military in Austria because of my stupidity, but then they called me because we were attacked at the time. And everyone had to defend Franz Josef, even if he was still so stupid! He would go to war today for Hitler." Hau then yelled at Schwejk to go to hell and went to SchwejK!
