ht -5 - This war will be won by the kacht, which has the larger air potentia and which will have the opportunity to throw lo.ooode planes into combat at the decisive moment and to destroy the hinterland. This, in turn, will be England with the help of the USA, this war cannot be decided by the masses of German troops, by the numbers of German tank divisions in our country, in Poland or in the Balkans. All of this will collapse under the blows of the blockade and the air weapon, all of which will collapse as a result of the resistance of the entire occupied countries as a consequence of the complete economic and industrial decomposition and the superpower of the Allied laterial. All this will come and even if it should take so long. Jtalien is already the beginning of the collapse. The German newspapers are beginning to deal openly with the defeat of Jtalia. We lead the newspaper in Reichenberg to the Frankfurter Zeitung. It is already said there that Germany will continue to fight, even if Jtalien was beaten or a special peace was concluded, this already openly admits the blows that Germany has suffered, and further visions will come. The height of the German victories has already been exceeded. With Jtalien it is already going down rapidly and with Germany it will go down even faster in the summer.The visions of the German Jndustrie are already very great The present time with the German dishonorable and immoral methods will only be forgotten with the lowest epoch of our history. Especially at Christmas, where Christ is alive in our hearts, one has to remember that the evil was finally destroyed and will be destroyed even this time, even if it could triumph at times, and that truth and justice will prevail at the end. Therefore, this Christmas can celebrate joyfully and hopefully, do not give in! Jeh see you all dressed around the atheachtsbaum and how Jhr thinks of the happy days of the early řehg eihnachten! Jhr can look to a more beautiful future in the circles of your family and your children! Jch think especially of the many lichens whose place at the Christmas table remains empty and who spend the most faithful Christmas there is. These are the ones who have to bring the day to the concentration camps and prisons today, and who come from no side a dear word to hear. I think you and I beg you, remember in today's fire the beautiful time of our republic, which will return wns. Remember the time when all our loved ones will return to their homeland. Jeh sees our beautiful Prague, which, also in grief, is happy today, in the awareness that soon freedom will return. Jh see this year's Christmas in other cities of our republic, I see Tábor, who will later again lead the national defence struggle. Jch see the whole csR from Bohemia to Pressburg Jhr celebrates this festival this year in the awareness that cchon will celebrate the next or at least the next Christmas in pretence and that at this time the big houses will be in all places again. We will then go even more joyfully and donate our share for the poor and lost. Prague will be even more beautiful and majestic and even more festive than it was before. We too are experiencing here more Christmas in this spirit. In exile we live ever sad Christmas. But we too are confident and look forward to the future. We, too, will draw our hope from the depth of faith in the Saviour. We will remember you and sing our native songs. In the case of exulants, even if they are still so far from home and still so successful, the first thought is always home and love for her! -9
