English Translation
Lažnovský, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper České Slovo, succumbed to his poisoning. In order to put an end to these and similar irresponsible cross-drivers, the empire in a serious war had to intervene with sharp means in the autumn of 1941: The Deputy Reich Protector, General of the Police Heydrich, met with the criminal and preventive measures, which were capable of eradicating the anti-rich moves as quickly and definitively as possible. London radio, however, continues in its agitation, but its effect is far too weak today to disturb the findings of the Czech people. The Czech people probably noticed that Dr. Beneš disappeared from the political stage when England no longer needed him, and only then did he reappear when British propaganda needed him again. Even today, Dr. Benedict only does what England wants. He remained true to it, like many others, to capitalism and to Judaism, politicians of the old and dismissed order. After the defeat of France, the numerous failures of England and the German successes achieved so far on the eastern front, today the Czech man sees only with Miftrauen on those people who have failed on the whole line and now from a safe distance call their compatriots to repeated sacrifices for England. The simple Czech man, the worker and peasant, today appreciates what the German Protectorate offers him. We inhabit a country that is not affected by the war and in which quiet work is carried out; we are subject to compulsory military service, while England with love makes its national trousers bleed for itself. The Bohemian countries are growing freely, but all the more so in the context of the Great German Empire, in which the Czech culture is valued higher than our former false friends. We once paid millions to ensure that our operas were played in the West and that a certain interest in our art was brought about. Czech music today occupies an excellent position in the Reich; it is also similar in the other fields of artistic and cultural creation today. Already the third one is the Czech one after German and Italian film. This kind of cultural guarantee has never been given to us by England, even at a time when we were at least an independent state on paper. The Czech man can no longer be led on the glue, either by British agitators or by those who do not make themselves Czech statesmen out of the English betrayal of 1938 and now serve England newly. The Czech people today feel that it can unfold its creative genius within the framework of the Great German Empire. A firm foundation and a guarantee for this is provided by the great National Socialist
