L o n d o n - (Czech). Ee speaks the President Dr. Benesch. Expensive friends in Czechoslovakia and Karpathorussland: There are important war news coming, the German Nazis have invaded the Soviet Union. We have the same situation as Ig38, as before Minchen. Just a year ago I told you that the end of the war is not yet there. That Britain does not give in and now Britain has on one side America, on the other Russia as an ally, Roosevelt will definitely help. German propaganda has always laughed at the emigrant governments in London, now very much to her reality. Since Munich, Britain has been united to me Frahkreich. I was convinced in the year 34 that there must be a war, and as President of the Republic I took the necessary steps. From the year l939 the luck of war began to fall for our friendly nations.

The last big mistake Hitler made will decide the war. Why did Hitler start this war? I will interpret the causes for you. Hitler, Göring, Keitel, Hess and others have already been convinced in the last few months that they will not defeat Great Britain. HesS is a beveis of this fear. It came up the Brege: make vas? A great threat presented Russia. And thus saw no other way out than to attack the Soviets. No one can say how the war in the East will develop. But finally we have three Eastern fronts, and these will destroy Germany's strength. Russia is making a great disoster through the attack on Germany. Be confident and do not believe what German propaganda is presiding over you. We are now entering the final phase of war, which will be corrupt to Germany. I draw your attention to Churchill's words:
