For example, a large fire in Amsterdam's port fell victim to large quantities of agricultural products.- In Denmark, the singing of folk songs was forbidden ... etc. SENDER LONDON (Czech): Presentation of a woman about the congress of the British Workers' Party/- (generally unimportant phrases!).- Speech of the minister N e č a_s: Title: Why will Hitler lose the war after all? "Since Napoleon was never fought in German territory. Göring assured this also at the beginning of the war. But now Germany itself is heading for the big battlefield. Already 2o times were British pilots over Berlin and destroyed many strategic points. 40 times over Hamburg, where harbour and kerosene camps were severely damaged etc. The Nazi press explains that London is in flames and the ports were destroyed. At present, however, those ports are in flames, of which Hitler was also supposed to take and carry out the invasion,- Ansserend many warlike centers were destroyed in Germany.- The German people see the successful Bombardemtn and do not understand that nothing was done against it. That's why the German radio breaks out in rages and complaints and calls the English murderers and criminals who kill women and children with bombs. But such a saying is the only one that the National Socialists understand. The Germans declare that they have dangerously approached England, but they also know that England is in the same dangerous vicinity of German territory. Germany did not expect to become a battlefield and therefore has an insufficient flak and not enough shelters The airspace over Germany is therefore already controlled by the British Air Force. The German aircraft losses are almost four times as large as the British ones. America's deliveries to England are increasing. Right now an order for l8 5oo aircraft is being carried out.The training of the pilots in Canada is increasing.The domination of the oceans is still in the hands of England. It is easy to carry out the blockade against Germany. The lifespan of a German crew member is calculated by the German insurance companies with 62 days. German ports are broken by the British air weapon, while the Italian fleet is not forced out of their ports. The tonnage of England has been reduced by 2 million tonnes (?) since the beginning of the war, while 4 ooo German and Italian ships were sunk or captured with their goods, which are so-called for Germany ... Hitler has imagined that he will rule the country and England on the seas. But England has rejected this solution. ... The trade union congress has just been held in England, which has shown that the entire working class of England is standing up for the fight for freedom. Speaking in Berlin about the plutocracy, England has dared to give arms to the whole population. In London, too, the King, Churchill, the ministers can move freely in the midst of the people. They do not need to be armed up to their teeth, like the national socialist and fascist leaders. ..... Hitler cannot win the war because it is a lie that England has never been so isolated in history today. England is still available to the whole world. At England's side are 5oo million Chinese, 2oo Milliönen Muselmen, Indians and others -3-
