English Translation

70 -2 leaders. Now, no matter whether good or bad, quite openly tackle things, speak quite openly; that was always the greatness of the leader, that he has always told the German people, at all times, the things as they were. Thus we, his commissioners, as National Socialists, maintain it, I too would like to do so. I would therefore like to tell you openly what I think I can do, but I would also like to say where I see difficulties in helping you, and you know that I have hit very hard in the first few days and must strike very hard. Mr President, ladies and gentlemen of the press, to whom I have taken the opportunity to give a detailed account of the real contexts of resistance, you will be able to tell details, and all of this cannot be put into the paper on a large scale. The empire could not allow all of this, but that the empire seized and struck and prevented the attempt to fall into the back of the German soldier, who was in the east Bolshevism, is a matter of course. I myself have been in the East as a soldier and head of the security police. I will take the opportunity and believe that I can make it possible for some workers to make a front trip where you can see for yourself what the truth looks like, whatever Bolshevism has promised. You will surely say that it is good that this Bolshevik war was waged and ended, a good thing that this eastern world - carried by 20-25,000 tanks - did not come over Europe and thus over Bohemia and Moravia. If the Russians had succeeded, they would probably have come through this room first.
