English Translation
31 -E - reasons ate the conquest of Stalingrad, which cost the Germans so many heavy victims. The Germans thoroughly lost themselves with Stalingrad. The heroic Red armies still hold Stalingrad . All attacks of the Nazis failed, their last forces are exhausted. For these reasons Halder and Bock had to disappear in the sinking, which is characteristic of the mood in the German army, that Göring had to declare that ever, even the highest officer, who did not obey, would be acquitted. All of Europe is filled with indelible hatred against the Nazis. In Italy, Romania and Hungary, too, the hostile mood against the Reich is growing. All of this creates a clear picture of Germany at the beginning of the 4th war year and at the start of the now slow but relentless Allied offensive. The consequences of all this will be even more difficult, of which I can assure you... Disturbation... from the German side one begins to beautify and justify oneself, o just as Wilhelm Ende l9l8 did, that one did not want this war; one discovers at once that he was shed a useless blood, and one affirms that the kingdom well mine with all in Würope. But if this doesn't work out, then those who end up facing desperate threats again... Disturbation... You paint gloomy images of the future: All of Europe will face annihilation in the event of a defeat in Germany. If we fall, Hitler says, all of Europe falls!

This speech concerns all of us; it will come to the court at the end of this war... Disturbation... All of our claims, which many did not want to believe us, have now been confirmed: that is, that l5. March a raid on our people was that uneer Vblde zver was brilliant despite all the difficulties; that the goal of Nazi Berlin is the starvation of our fullness. However, we have set ourselves the task of carrying out the renewal of the Czechoslovak Republic and this not only in its old glanche, but also in the greater extent... All the Nazi leaders will be punished, the fate of the Nazi war drivers must be like that of all criminals... Disturbation.. We are really glad that this speech has been hailed. It clearly shows that what Lenlein said in Vien on March 4th was a great lie.It clearly proves the deception of Runsiman, who described Henlein as democrats and faithful Czechoslovaks. It also proves that the Sudeten German Nazi party was founded in agreement with Berlin and that its only Zoel was the connection of the Chechoslovak Republic... Disturbation... I tell you this: Prank's speech will be without consequences for you, you
