English Translation

48 - 3 - which you must, however, let come to pass today. Today is not the time of St. Wenceslas, where we Czechs were still a small people and had to fight against a superpower. Today p d d are enslaved? The new order, which in the eyes of the whole world does not mean cultural progress, makes us nothing more than slaves. But today we are not alone as in the century, and we will not be alone even after the war. The whole world stands up against the German barbarians and will not give up in the fight against them. It is true that at that time our friends left us in the West, but today they have to pay bitterly for it and make up for their mistakes by supporting us with all their strength. A peace must be created, according to which the Germans will no longer be able to repeat their history and fall upon us again. We still stick to our own old ideals and no propaganda can turn us away from them. If the Germans also start preparations for a Priedensoffensive today, this is nothing more than a momentary persuasion, so that they can subsequently rape our people with new tortures. The war will not be over until Germany has fallen. Be courageous and steadfast, for it is not true that we can no longer exist. And if the Germans also stage murders today and choose the best of our people for their victims, we remain unshakeable. Their death will have a special mission and prove that they have not succeeded in beating us. Death for predilection, homeland and fatherland! On the eve of the great 28 October I come with a call to you: remain united, be steadfast, we are on the right path to just victory and in the light of 28 October our strength is staring again and we unite to a community that cannot be destroyed!"
