English Translation
2/ Kua 5 Pol. L. 20.3.43. concerning the life of the Czech people, Bolshevism and Benech's superiority. The Czech public recognized from these words the smallness of these people who still believe that the war will pass by them unnoticed that they have nothing in common with Bolshevik and Penesch. This is their tragic mistake, for the war today draws everyone by the hair and does not ask too much what he has done for Benesch and Bit Benesch, but he asks strongly what he says, does and thinks today. But we have other people here who do not want to see or see that the world is burning at all ends and corners, that the earth is roaring under the thunder of the guns, and that the raw Bolshevism in the East is leading millions of non-freemen to the battle bench fi. They do not want to see that the struggle for the freedom of European culture has entered a decisive stage, from which there is no other way out than life or death. Or has anyone already read verses from an important poet permeated by the storming pulse of that time, or have they found a echo of the victims of the "elders of Stalingrad? Has one read of all this in the new Czech poetry? The young German poetry stand on the front line and write by their brave deeds, which also protect our country, a heroic epic, before which one's breath stops. The Czech poet sits behind the oven at home, plays around like in the deepest peace and he lacks at most enough cigarettes, Wår want and raise the right to demand that the Czech poet live, feel and create and obey our time, and that he write his verses in the rhythm of the fateful days of human history, The same applies to the other Czech writers. In order for the Czech people to work on a permanent basis, it is absolutely necessary to carry out the inner, psychic total mobilization that would unite us in defense of Bolshevism and the murderer of the people, against Benesch, It would be a tregödie of the Czech People if the Czech poets would sleep deeply and firmly in this culmination of Europe's history! /P.Krepela./
