English Translation
08 -£ - and watch quietly how the czech people are beaten to the cross, Vir can only call Hacha a traitor who, like all other traitors, will once bear the full responsibility. Joh was aware of what happened and had to happen when Hacha went to Berlin. Jn Berlin had an easy game with this helpless old man. This was the beginning of the suffering of the Czech people. Jch may recall that I replied with a clear "No" when I was offered a trial with Hitler. When Henlein appeared in audience with me, I also answered with a clearly "No". Jch acted at that time in the sense of the people. After the attack on Heydrich, Hacha and his government became hostages in Hitler's hands. Jch hereby solemnly declares that for everything that has been and is happening in these Tugen in the CSR, Adolf Hitler must be personally held responsible, as must all his government members, the exponents of the Nazi party and the German government in our territory, as well as everyone who helps them, wherever this is in the territory of the whole Republic of the Pall, starting with Neurath and Heydrich and on the other hand Lei Frank and Henlein, all of them will be held accountable, all H-men, Dr. These exponents of the Nazi party and the German government in our territory. Together with our great allies, we will demand the extradition of all these criminals and no one will escape his just punishment. March l939 in Prague they have always shown themselves from the same side, 'cruel terror was their tactics, which they have retained to this day, The method of obtaining respect in a people that the Nazis use is unique in history and I can only describe them by modern gangsterism. Jhre Bestiality knows no bounds, but we will never forget the name Lidice, which is a chapter in itself in which the last word has not yet been spoken. It began with Heydrich coming to occupied Prague as the representative of a foreign people to take possession of the freedom and power of our country. When he did not want to succeed in this, the terror began in an unprecedented mass and when he was shot for it, many innocent people are murdered for him, who have nothing to do with the assassination and can blame them for nothing more than that they feel patriotic ODie Deutschen are the greatest gangsters of modern society. All these things must be brought to our consciousness, because only then can we get the only right and possible admission to things. The recently concluded pact offers Czechoslovaks the guarantee that we will continue our current cooperation with the great allies even after the war, it provides us with the guarantee of the early liberation of the oppressed homeland. In London, in St. James Palace, we will accurately record the names of all the faithful and, at the end of the war, we shall punish the guilty strictly but fairly. If the guilty flee, we may demand their extradition. Be sure that they will not escape the just punishment. (Following the former csl, national anthem ).
