This afternoon there was a divine service in the Paul Cathedral in London on the occasion of the National Day. Deken Dechant said in his sermon: Dr.Peneš told me at the beginning of the war: in the end we will be free again /?/... vote of the free republic. "First we read a daily order to the Chsl, army, which on the 28th oct. issued by the President of the Republic and the Minister of Defence: Army Order No. 19. On the eve of today's State Day soldiers of the l.chsl. army entered in the eastern part of the republic the bode. of the homeland. The whole Czech people eagerly awaited this moment, which marked a sign of final and I believe also early liberation and redemption. At this historic moment, you can look back with pride on the greatness of the work you have done. In the course of 5 years, they joined forces in all the places of war, in which united nations stood for the victory of truth and everywhere zpfer temxzie fulfilled loyally and sacrificially the tasks assigned to them: in 1940, the tschsl. associations were established in France at the moment when the war glow already turned towards the enemy. They fought at the side of the French until the very last moment and carried out so honorably their duty as allies. In the autumn of the same year the tschsl.Flieger together with their Polish comrades entered the book of history honorably in the battle for England. I remember the fallen, glorious defense of Tobruk in Syria and the continuing fighting at the side of the Red Army in Kharkov, the capture of Kiev and finally the heavy and extremely bloody fights at the crossing of the Carpathians and entering the ČSR. The sluftändige Chsl. Panzerbrigade fulfils its duty on the Western Front. The honor of first entering the land of the homeland was given to the army corps in the UdsR. They entered the ground of the home in an instant when the Slovaks rose up to fight against the hated oppressors, and they fought for two months against the superiority of the enemy. It brings together with weapon aid, the tschsl.Volk dex psychic boost.For further struggles until the victorious end, I am convinced that the day of liberation is already in sight. But it will still have to be fought hard until the last moment, because the enemy will fight in blind fanaticism with outrageous stubbornness. In the final phase of this struggle, all the forces and powers must be used, without ever becoming alert and diminishing, in the opinion that the victory is near, The tschsl,Armee has on the ground not only combat tasks, but also such military-political character. In the course of its implementation, it will, without any doubt, draw attention to technical developments which have resulted from the state of exhaustion of the country by the five-year period.
