English Translation

Therefore, in the London programmes in Czech language, these journalists are constantly "repeated" with their Nanen and sometimes with precise housing indications, and the open invitation to make them harmless. The slogan of "slow work" will be opposed by the Czech press with an Enlightenment Action, led by the idea that the people of the Czech Republic will cut themselves into their own flesh with every extension or slowing down of work. However, it must also be taken into account that posters of the party and Reichsdienst (Reichsdienst) do not appear in the Protectorate, as unfortunately often happens, which are obviously an appeal to the German people. Thus, it is completely absurd, if e.g. an Reichsdienststelle at companies in Moravian Ostrava (protectorate) with almost one hundred percent Czech workers sent posters with the motto "Your work secures the victory". Such an appeal to the German people enjoyed naturally causes the opposite in the fschechen. The posters "Equal blood, equal duty, equal honor" are also inappropriate wherever predominantly Czech workers work. At my initiative, the leading Czech journalists will take the initiative to launch an advertising campaign for the Czech press so that the success of the London Stepeganda can be captured. The situation in the Protectorate is considered very serious by us.
