English Translation
(2 3 especially the Waffen-SS in this room special obligations and obligations. In wartime applies war law! This makes tasks and duties even bigger and harder. The SS man must be blameless and exemplary. To be able to serve in the Wacken-SS is an honor. It is all the greater and requires harder duties because we stand in the greatest life struggle of all time. I therefore call upon each and every one of you, squadrons, above all, to take an attitude. And especially here in a country where hundreds of thousands of eyes of a fore-looking people critically and in part disfavorably pursue all interpretations, you men, at every time of day and night in service and out of service, when entering rooms and on the street, have to remember that you are soldiers of the Führer and always and everywhere represent Germany and the Reich. The units of the Waffen-SS located here in Prague are assigned and subordinated by the leader to the Reichsprotector for his special assignments. In addition to the general Soldat education, you have special watch duties to perform and - if it comes up again to some Czech phantasies to disturb calm and order, above all you have the task to proceed against such rest destroyers and imperial enemies with the sharpest means. I expect from you the commitment, loyalty, camaraderie and attitude to the last. Whoever forgets or breaks one can no longer be an SS-man. We thank the fate that in this most serious of all wars that our people have ever waged, we can help and contribute to the post where the leader places us, in the struggle for the kingdom to victory for our leaders and this kingdom.
