Otv Rundfunk London, 12.10.42 Czech, 6.30 p.m. fo10 " ..... Today it is just a year since Heydrich dissolved the Sokol. ......... This also makes the closing of Czech universities appear in a different light, for example. It was not only for the purpose of destroying the Czech intelligence, but also for the reason that young Czechs could take every opportunity to meet. Therefore, the organizations of the Sokol, the "Národní sou- ručenstvi" and finally the "Orel" must believe in it. These are facts that all fancied Háchas and Moravec's of a cultural autonomy of Czech lies. Every truly Czech organization appears to the Germans as a gathering place for high treason. And this cannot even be completely denied by us, for it is simply impossible that, where Czechs come together for 1 - 1 i g, there should not be a centre of resistance against the German oppressors. If this were to be done differently, then this would only mean that the Czech people have abandoned themselves. However, since this is not so, and the Czech man perceives every possibility of bringing his feelings of resistance to the Ausdruek, the Nazis dissolve one Czech organization after another. It does not matter whether it is truly national organizations or those whose baptism the Germans themselves were godfathers, such as the "Národní Souručenství" according to the German plans, they all have to disappear."
