275 - 3 - German colonists are scattered. The first stage of this German fury has begun in a certain time. The communities of Zabehlá were suffering? Padrt? Skorice, Mýto, Kolinn, Pančava, Zlatá, Opatovice, Hamilton, Reklavička, Sedy, Viskovice, Blanic, Lipove, Vozkovice, Drahany, Hamt, Baldovec etc. ... A special office was created in Prague to carry out the resettlements. It is not necessary to tell the Czechs that the officials there are only Beutsche. German radio said that the Czech farmers had understood the cooperation with the Germans best. The ridiculousness of this declaration is only now really apparent. One can hardly imagine that the peasants welcome the expropriation. Trot all statements the peasants have exactly as much reason to hate the Germans as everyone else. The member of the Council of State Frant speaks. Hála: We entered this year with the firm belief in victory, My special greetings apply today to the population of the Hostimer region, which is very close to me. The news that this area is to be expropriated by the Germans fills all Czechs with the greatest indignation and contempt. The country should be taken away from us, the population should be transferred to Poland, only so that foreign Germans from foreign regions can come to our country, the city of Pustiměr and other places should become the scene of new acts of violence and crimes against our people. Today I suffer and close my fists just like Jhr, citizens of this territory. Jch kneele like Jhr before Our Lady and ask her to destroy these Germanic people etc. ... Our territory has been a gemstone and the bishops of olive oil have built up there you Moravian Karlstein, now Jhr shall be driven out! Also on you the monster Hitler proves his Auss ruch to Chvalkovsky : Jhr fixed you on our ground and this piggy must be out! That's why Hitler is now driving our people away from the possession of their ancestors. The bell of Pustomer , which only rings in hours of danger, will now announce this danger to you! Listen to their voice, Jhr people in Moravian country! Repent for the day that we will drive away the enemies together. Our Prime Minister explained at Christmas: Listen attentively to the Christmas songs. The voices of the Czechs and Slovaks will be heard solemnly and the faithfulness of the Cross will triumph over the New Heidentum. The Day of Freedom will come! Therefore no desecration and no complaints, great is your suffering, but believe in the righteousness of God! The Vice-Chairman of the Council of State Dr. Macháček: On the 2o.l. spoke lecturer Dr. Polakovič on the fundamental ideas of National Socialism, he spoke of the fearful ones who are afraid to attack the Church. However, the Church of Slovakia forms the tradition of the people. On the 22nd of January, Jnnen-minister Mach in Trenčin Teplitz declared: Nat. Socialism is a guarantee for the future and independence of our slov. people. May the people join in the struggle of Germany and walk in its footsteps!
