8L - 4 - CSR has made this case possible by Germany. History will have to establish this. I look forward with confidence to the development of the war events. England will not lose this war, just as it did not lose the last war. Just as those who are the lords of the seas have won a series of last wars, so they will win this war and remain the masters of the oceans. Today there is no great power in the world of avsser England and the USA, which dominates the sea. At the beginning of the war, we knew that the Air Force would play a major role, but now we realize that it plays an even greater role in this war than we all expected, and that this will increase. No great power in the world can accept it with the air potential of Great Britain and America. These facts will decide the war. England has done tremendous achievements since the fall of France, more than expected. Eg has set up a strong Wehrmacht and it knows that it is not only about its own existence, but also about the political and social freedom of the whole world. That is what it is about to save the heritage that the tradition and bravery of the world has preserved so far. Here I want to publicly express not only the thanks of all Czech Slovaks to England and its people, its government and the great Churchill, but also to stress our power and pride in the fact that we will fight with this people for their lives and our lives and will go together with them until the victory, which will come as the crown of all success.

I do not believe that the dictatorships will win the war, this is what the harsh defeat of Germany in trying to fall into England and the ill-led attack of Italy on Greece, where Italy has suffered a great defeat, from which Italy will no longer recover from its moral consequences. For my assumption, the rescue of Egypt and the domination of England in the Mediterranean speaks. However, this war will not be easy. I know that not everything has yet been won and that there can also be setbacks, But see for sure) that England and its allies can no longer be defeated. Hitler and Mussolini did not hear the war well. It will end with the defeat of the dictatorships and of all those who have joined them. My speech would not be complete if I did not think without distinction of all the ones who have successfully participated in our reconstruction work, At the end of my performances I would like to remember ours in the homeland. In all this suffering and oppression our people have remained firm and unbroken at home, their minds are inflexible, they are firm against the so morally lowly enemy. In this contrast, our people remain honest, like gold and hard as - 5 -
