- 2 - The sharp German intervention after the student demonstrations on 15.11.1939 led to a fundamental change in Czech Racism. Since then, every day of the commemoration, which could give rise to a demonstration, has been warned by the London radio of statements, since these would only be a reason for the German authorities to take more stringent measures against the Czechs. On 19.9.1939 Benesch explained on London radio, among other things: "True Czechs and Slovaks, it is time for action to speak, Barbarism in Czechoslovakia, in Poland and even in Germany is approaching its end. We are ready to fight and decide. Today we no longer give way to the oppression .... Organize therefore the resistance. In every company, in every city a determined fight must be waged from now on against the oppressor. You must be determined to make every sacrifice and must not shy away from blood sacrifices. Now the open fight against the German violence ... 11. On 13.4,1941, the same Benesh declared: "I do not call you to revolt today, but the hour comes when you must say yes or no. For the time being, strengthen the resistance. .... We are now fighting here and you are fighting with other weapons in your homeland.. 2.) The Czechs are also following the instructions of the Czech broadcasts from London to passive resistance at all stages of their lives. As a prime example of such an order, which is widely followed by the Czech population, the speech of the escaped Czech Minister of Industry and Industry is to be mentioned on the evening of 8.2.1941 on the London radio, in which it was said, among other things: "I hear here with joy the news of your self-help in the food supply. You are right to sell the various goods under your hands and only to your brothers... The Germans know well that the economic sabotage is the strongest weapon against them. So don't let yourself be diverted from selling under your hand .... These my leaders apply not only to the agricultural people, 13 to the craftsmen, merchants, but also to the Beamton, who can cause similar things by their position, which can support these works. Believe and help each other. This is a way of expressing his mind, if otherwise you also measure silence". - 3 -
