61a - 4 - to harm them wherever you can, so that your struggle can also speed up the death of the German occupants!" Sender London 5.4.1943, 8:45 p.m., Czech: "...You now hear the member of the Czechoslovak Council of State, the deputy Bohumil Laušman: The successful fight of the first Czechoslowak unity, which fought against the red army on the eastern front, filled the hearts of our home country with pride. The courage and heroism of our soldiers was particularly mentioned in a Soviet army order, which stressed that the Czechoslovak first group destroyed an entire enemy regiment, which was also supported by tanks without having tanks. This is a heroism that has received the same proud response from the Czechoslovaks abroad as in their homeland." 72200 Mo-IV/151
