20 "Czech Freedom Station" (Czech) on 10 February 1943 7:25 p.m. "On 7 February, an agricultural conference was held in the Prague Municipal House, which was convened by the so-called Minister of Agriculture, Adolf Hruby, on orders from Daluege. In doing so, Hrubý committed a gross provocation when he declared that the Germans had given us 17,000 Vag gons of grain from their own stocks during the emergency period. This is a very mean lie, which Hruby consciously used; in order to meet the elementary plea about the unchallenged plundering of our country by the Germans. The Germans have never given us only ca loaf of bread from their own holdings, every little child knows that. But for this, worse than the Brandenburgers at the time, they have stolen, robbed and steal further under immediate participation of Hruby's and his helpers. The Germans still carry away from us whole trains of food - not only cereals, but also butter, eggs, meat and poultry. State Secretary Backe himself explained in November that he had received 2 million centimetres of cereals from the new harvest. That was in November. Since then, thanks to Hrubý's efforts, further millions of centimetres of grain have been exported, which we are now so lacking in Bohemia. So Hrubý lies insolently when he claims that the Germans have provided us with their own grains, and when he assures the Czech farmers that all their supplies are intended for the supply of Czech cities.The Czech farmers themselves know what it looks like with the supply to the Czech population.They also know that what the Czech soil gives would actually blow into Czech hands, there would be no shortage, no food cards and no need in the Bohemian countries. Today, however, every regulation will only vote on the advantage of the Germans and Hrubý will only do what the occupiers impose on him. Therefore, the Czech farmers will sabotage even more than in earlier Janren all German orders, all Hruby's guidelines! Yes, just now, since Hrubé himself has admitted that the fate of Germany is hanging on a hair." Ri.
