English Translation

- 4 - 4 of the resistance against Germany since March 5, 1939. This resistance will continue until the victorious end of this war. From March lg39 the Czech people stood in front of the Germans. In our country as well as in Poland, Norway etc... a large system of passive resistance was established in spiritual and mathematical terms. We hear a lot about the German nerve war, but this also includes the Czech nerve war. All attempts to kill the spirit of our techelic people are in vain. The Nazi rule certainly means suffering, need, hunger and concentration. We take all these blows with the same courage as the British people take on other tricks of Nazi terror. Aile Vülker have the common slogan that it is absolutely necessary to win this war, and we will win it, I have never doubted it. - To resist the nature of our people is that the political and spiritual balance of the German plague is shaken. Our people have not been broken by persecution and betrayal, not by threats and evocations. It stands firmly behind our London government, holds firm to its belief in liberation and victory, it stands without hesitation behind England and its allies, and stands without doubt in the belief that the day of ábrechnung with the barbaric Nazi regime is imminent. The German attempts to bring the Czech people together are stupid and ineffective and only clearly show the bad péychology of the Germans. Our common enemy is demoralized to a large extent. From the news coming back from home, we can convince wns that faith and security for our victory and the moral strength of our people are growing in the same mass as distrust among the Germans and the German soldiers in the Bohemian countries. In these Germans there are increasing signs, fear of defeat, dissatisfaction, distrust of leadership, criticism of the supply situation, etc. Outside Germany there are few people who can make themselves a clear idea of how corrupt the Nazi regime is in the occupied Lönders. Especially with us in the CSR. You don't want to believe how many leading Nazis, politicians, officers, Gestapo people are for sale. I could count countless cases of capture of Germans for bribery, machinations with raw materials, embezzlement of state funds for own purposes, etc. I can assure you that the entire Nazi administration has proved to be completely bankrupt in all the occupied countries. The whole world can see that the German barbarians are not sot perfect administrators at all and what is happening today in many occupied countries and also in the Old Kingdom is a repetition of the well-known events in Austria Hungary in the year lgl7. For me it is a fixed fact that the Hitler Empire is very quickly approaching the time when the inner collapse begins. In the year lg4l this will be clear to the world. From home we constantly get the confirmation of the fact that our people are behind us, of the victory of England believes in the superhuman efforts, the cold-bloodedness and courage of the British people and of the bombarded London and cannot be dissuaded from this faith by persecutions, lies and verats and promises of reconciliation with the Germans. It will never submit to the new order, which is so stupid and violent. For all our people, its capital is London, which lies at the heart of the struggle against the Nazi and where the seat of its government and its president is. The people see in us its real representatives, believe in us, follow our catfights, believe our news and share our hopes.
