Today I speak to you whatever the Germans intend to do with you, whatever your fate may be. Jch can only repeat the prayer again and again "God save France!" Here with us, in the fire of torment, we never forget our French friends and believe that we are continuing our struggle for the freedom of Europe, for the right of the simple man in all parts of the world, for which we have drawn the sword. If all these people, for whom we fight, are in need, because they are beaten down by evil, then at least we must not get into a fight. Our common torment always tries to sow discord between us and in misfortune, of course, much happens, which makes his work easier for the enemy. We must take everything as it is comat and choose the best. - 3
