STATE SECRETARY FOR THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, INV. 61, Sig. 109-1/67
English Translation
It has also been able to see clearly in the last months how political and economic chaos has occurred with the enemy armies everywhere in place of the order guaranteed by the empire. It has seen in the example of Warsaw how the interests of a small people of England are left unscrupulously in the lurch and even deliberately put at risk by the Soviets. It sees the fate of Romania, Bulgaria and Finland as threatening a people who surrender to Bolshevism. And even if the English and Americans had the power and the will to protect the small peoples of Eastern and Central Europe from Bolshevism, they could not; for their plutocratic methods are the best breeding ground for communism. What Bolshevik rebellion means is now evident in neighbouring Slovakia, whose population, whipped up by aliens in London and Moscow, is now only being saved by German arms aid from sinking into chaos. 2y EMLe Every Czech, who loves his homeland and wants the best for his people and his family, follows in peace his daily work and exhorts his fellow citizens to prudence and discipline. He knows that everyone who fulfils his duty according to the orders of the government of the President Hácha enjoys the protection of the kingdom and that his achievement will not be forgotten. He feels the advantage of the order ruling in the Protectorate despite all the burdens that this war imposes on him. He appreciates the secure, calm present over a fully uncertain future. He is aware that the slightest attempt to violently change existing conditions would only bring bloodshed, hunger and despair and endanger him and his family in existence. AC SURCHIBbdE The German people's comrade, however, in Bohemia and Moravia, must, in the awareness of the insoluble affiliation of these countries to the empire, now be up to his particular task. This includes attitude and achievement. The German population will meet this natural demand. She despises those wretched creatures that occur in all peoples, who in times of lightning victories are the loudest "victory cry" and, at times of adversity, quickly surrender to cowardly defaitism and make wild rumors. She knows that security in the Protectorate is no less than in the rest of the kingdom and that it is under the special protection of the empire. She also knows that Bohemia and Moravia, like any other empire, would be defended against an enemy threat to the last man. With cool mind and hot heart, she will continue to pursue her German duty in faithful following as a leader. S0015 01991
