Rnir. 28 Speech by SS-Grupfenfthrer Si d Xe # y at the 1st NSDAP rally on the Old Town Square in Prague on 2 December 1939. Granea? PGv It is a great pleasure for me, at the first rally of the National Socialist German Workers' Party on the Old Town Square in Prague - as deputy and in the name of the Reich Protector, His Excellency Freiherr von Neurath - here today the Reichsorganisationsleiter Dr. Robert Ley and our leader Konrad Henlein are warmly welcomed.I further greet the representatives of the Party, the State and the Vehrmacht and all the people gathered here. In addition, however, I greet all Germans in the towns and villages of Bohemia and Moravia from this historic site in the capital of the Protectorate, which is said to be the symbol and sign of the strength and power of the National Socialist German Reich today, when the House of the Party was inaugurated in Prague. I would like to say a few words on the way to this rally, which is of particular importance to two sides - one for the Germans, the other time for the Czechs as well. The Germans should and must once again become clear about the enormous historical act of the leader, which he has accomplished with the mun- more forever carried out reclassification of the countries of Bohemia and Moravia into the kingdom. Nothing can be better than the fact that today German National Socialists have taken part in a powerful rally on this historically important Old Town Square in Prague and we can speak to you here, where the minions of one government of Benesch persecuted and enslaved all Germans only fifteen months ago. This beautiful country, which has been our home for centuries, has been in the air for centuries.
