17.2\ - 2 - great importance for the oppressed peoples of Europe, who for them are the voice of liberation. We get new reports of the immorality of the German soldiers again and again. It is no wonder when it comes to excesses. For four years now many of the German soldiers have been at the service of the Wehrmacht, separated from their homes, from their wives and children, sometimes they are with foreign peoples whose language they cannot understand and can not communicate with them. The number of dessertrs is growing more and more at XAt Wilson station in Prague, the following inscription was found not too long ago: "Every German soldier is convinced that the mass murderer Hitler must soon capitulate. We want to go home, we no longer want to serve this inhuman. Germany will not win this war.Never the one with national asso- calism, down with Hitler! , After learning of the help of America to England, it was found in the telephone cells in Prague inscriptions such as : Heil Roosevelt, Heil die Demokratien, Heal dem freier Europa !,Y We warn our people against Marie Vanková', from Benešov Tyrsgasse. It is in the service of the GEsTaPO and has already indicated more than 80 Czechs to it. It goes wrong in the most diverse societies, it speaks Czech and German and uses both for its purpose. It speaks the folk comrade Dražicky: Today I would like to say something about the new order, which is to be created after the war. This war is a struggle of existence, a struggle for being or not being of the democracies. We want to give a new order after this ridge uropa. This order is supposed to be mature and should fall to the satisfaction of all now oppressed peoples. Hitler has already worked out his plan for a neotdneng today. With Mr. Mussolini he will share Europe, Asia he will lie to the rule of Japan. Hitler plans to destroy England this year. He invades areas to which he has no claim, uses Gauleiter, the Reichswehr, creates concentration camps and thus he has finished the new order. However, we do not plan such a reorganization. We shall first destroy Nazi Germany and then we shall have to solve all these problems which will arise from it: there are political, military, economic and social questions which all must be resolved; the basis for this reorganization shall be the free opinion of all peoples; it shall arise from the will of the individual peoples. We will make comparisons with the experiences we have had since the last war, we will not fall into the mistakes that have been made. Hitler and Mussolini, however, do not see all these problems when they are reorganized. Why should they break their heads with all these things? They do not know that this is the basis for an existing empire. But we, who are fully aware of our task, we promise nothing, we do not know that we will not be able to keep it a Tagea. We do not want to say today what the future Central Europe will look like, nor do we want to know what the borders of our new republic will be. It is enough for us to know that there will be a new republic, that its position in Europe will be special.
