XXX L_o_n_d_o _n_=_Czechi_(l. Send!) Nachmitteg The President of the Czechoslovak Republic Dr._Eduerd___B_e_ne_schI_ speaks. Dear Friends' "It's been over two years since I left you and now I'm here in London.I knew at that time that Arieg was about to break out.I know that the war would be waged first against Poland and then against Western Europe.It all happened before I left Prague and then until I left London to America in February l939 I worked out all the necessary plans for our further work.I really knew exactly what we would do and would have to do and I took all the measures in time to prepare for our second defense struggle (odboj). The 28th of October l938 was a sad day for us, because Munich was the toughest in post-war politics, which had met us and all of Europe in its peace policy.At that time only we were prepared for the coming attack of Germany only militarily, politically and morally.In the whole of Europe it was actually only us, for France, England and the other states in Europe were not. By the way, this has clearly shown the war events. For this reason we remained alone and united at that time and it came to Munich and disaster! The war broke out only a little later when I had evaluated it.The occupation of the CSR, then Albania, came to the German-Russian and German-ixk Italian pact, the destruction of Poland, the attack on Narwegen, Belgium and Holland, the conquest of France and then the fall of France. The disintegration of South-Europe was due to Hungary's claims to prepare for a near war on the beam and in the Middle East, then the Treaty of the Axis with Japan, which represents a threat to Russia and America, because they are crucial to the outcome of the war. The inner Zerfalk with us after 28 October l938 followed then the 15 March 1939, connected with the separation of Slovakia. Then came the reign of terror and oppression at home.The destruction of all culture came, the second anniversary of 28 October with its manifestations, the massacre of our students, the closure of Czech universities and other schools, the destruction of our national culture, the suppression of our literature, our press and our theatre, the Germanization of Prague and other cities, the removal of our land and finally the customs union with the German Reich. I know that under such circumstances thx, even if you have not given in, must be sad to your third anniversary of October 23. But you must never despair, have no fear of the future! For this time of oppression has also brought something good for our people. March 15, 1939, was the day of our greatest grief and humiliation!But the beginning of the war was the first sign of our resurgence. On March 5, 1939 we started here in the end with our hard work, waiting for the war to begin soon. All victories in Germany can't change it!
