English Translation
72 - 3 - lack to calculate. We have always been able to compensate for emerging defects and make up for them by overwork of the industry. Our farmers have always managed to manage everything out of the ground. We never had any worries. What change has brought the sogen. Reorder. Art fertilizers, machinery, livestock, labor etc. and the most important... The Czech agricultural worker lacks the desire to work. I know that there will still be a lot of suffering and hardship in the Czech territories. Expensive brothers! I address you today, especially to you who live in the country outside, to you farmers! The hunger will knock on the Czech huts and villages. I beg you - help your ailing brothers! Help the Czech women and mothers, they are our future. They must be strong and prepared, for the day when the reconstruction of our country will begin. The Czech people in general and the Czech farmers in particular have proved that they are able to help themselves. Today's time in turn demands this self-help to the increased extent. It is known to me that between the Czech city and rural population there is an intimate harmony. To expand it and to shape it to the extreme is my wish. I know it will not always be easy to avoid all the spies, the black Üniforms of the Gestapo. I know that hundreds and thousands of our brothers from the country and the city languished in the prisons and in the concentration camp. I know some huts will suffer severely from hunger. I understand that the German official apparatus will do everything to confiscate the products of the Czech agriculture. However, I am certain that the hunger of the Czech women and children will not be great. So once again it shall be said. Czech.Farmers, do not allow czech.Women and children to starve.Work for your brothers - the great time may be great deeds. It will be more than a great act if you will provide the millions of our women and children with eggs, butter and flour. We all Czech farmers, industrial workers, civil servants, etc. are from a family, the love of our home and the common cause for which we are fighting proves our belonging together!
