English Translation
- 4- If the teches had not been so muzzled and could say what they thought, they would this time exceptionally admit to Hácha that he once exceptionally told the truth. Háha continued to say that the cultural activity of the people would not only not be restricted by the Germans, but on the contrary would still be supported. What answer can be given to it! Closed universities and universities - thousands of students in concentration camps - hundreds of our best cultural workers in fernnis- hundreds of Czech schools closed - the best cultural works bans - shut down - enslaved the word. This is the only correct answer to the floodplains of Hácha. And if the Germans have such an idea of the free cultural development of a country, then Mr. Neureth must not worry about the fact that the Czech people really prefer to prefer and want to have their own cultural development. Lecture: Nasarvk and Deutechlends Maeeryk's judgment on Pangermanism and Prussia does not alter. The new forn of pangermanism is Hitlerism. Masa-ryk had no prejudice against Germany. He knew German culture exactly, and he knew many great Germans. He has always explained that there is a profound difference between the so-called Deutechland and the Prussians. He recognized Beethoven as a genius and called Wagner the epitome of the dangerous impulses that Bismarcke Preussentum unleashed in Germany. He appreciated the classics if they did not preach the German theory of German superiority and the obvious perfection about the other Menchen. - Pangermanism Biemarck's, Wilhelm's and Hitler's are the same. Even then England fought the battle. Therefore today the Kempf against Hitler is a struggle for a consolidated pacifist Europe. Wilhelm was joined by the Habsburger, Hitler the Duce. The difference is only a formal one. Hitler also wants to return to the medieval enslavement and exploitation of the peoples. Pangermaism does not recognize the right of peoples to self-dependence. In internal and external politics the principle of blood and iron is applied. Pangermanism has always spread hatred against the techech, Nachbern. The Czechs are to be eradicated and Germanized. Hitler uses the lowest instincts of the German masses in order to be able to realize his plans. The political and militant tactics have not changed, Rsaryk has also proved to be a good observer here. He explained that Germany had lost the Velt war because it believed too much in the German superiority and because the interpretations have underestimated and too materialistically assessed the world opinion. The Germans have underestimated England ue bia gun last moment they firmly believed that America will not enter the war. They overestimated the power of their submarine waft and did not expect the economic superiority of their enemies. Above all, however, they have not properly appreciated the moral forces of the Allies. Germany and its allies fought for a bad cause. Today Italy served the panger-manist plans, which it has removed from Western culture under the dictatorship of Mussolini. Already in World War II Masaryk saw the meaning of the ariage not in the extermination of the German people, but only those elements which were a danger to Europe and the freedom of the peoples. - 5 -
