Lecture by General S l e z á k , Commander of the Osl. Luftwaffe: Czechoslovaks at home and abroad. At the end of this year I greet you in the name of the csl. airmen in the Aualande, who work together with the great British Air Force and the air forces of the other Allied countries on the destruction of the hated and barbaric national socialism. We came abroad individually or in groups, on all sorts of more or less dangerous ways. Many of us have participated in the fights in France and all have been used gradually in the battles over England. We have many seasons here, which are constantly growing. Our vessels were shot down by a variety of types, and veitere laschinen were probably destroyed. Furthermore, more canopy aircraft were used against tanks, tanks and other Kenpfmittel dès enemy. Our bombers did not exclude several successful attacks on enemy war-jndustrie - and traffic centers- Berlin. We have already achieved great success in the whole of the country. We have to take into account that our pilots had to re-learn twice during the course of this year, that they both received new Haschinen and material. The Bedingun en varen are not always cheap. Our pilots made the Veg from France either through the air or over the sea or over Af ika! In spite of all this, we have had good success, which are generally recognized. Our achievements have been appreciated by various governments and this has also been shown in the awards given to our pilots by the French and British governments and handed over to President Benesch in the name of csl. Reierung some time ago. Thank you to all members of the Luftwaffe, who have made themselves for our cause with great lute and great determination -2-
