English Translation

It is necessary, however, to demand - also in the well-understood interest of the Czechs themselves - that every Czech should at least pay attention to the tremendous seriousness of the situation of the German people "smiling and wait!" is not a good slogan in such close proximity to the German nation. Because this people fights for being or not being, 90 million Germans fight for their lives and at the same time cover with their bodies 66071 Europal They fight for the Czech people too! That these 90 million do not just want to have smiled, could make sense. Those who walk through the alleys of Prague and see the many German soldiers humping at crutches, and beside them the healthy young Czechs, who often walk arm in arm like village girls laughing, have one of the strangest impressions of our day. Without loss of biological resources, the Czech people come through this Second World War. It would be no wonder that this youth of oats would thaw and that it would be particularly vulnerable to the slogans of the enemy powers; for who appreciates s that he is doing well! But thanks to a clever leadership, and also thanks to the firm German hand, the mind remained above, and Benesch's later pa- role "waiting" was not the cause, but the consequence of it: since the murder attack on Reinhard Heydrich and his effects, Benesch ́s slogans had failed so much that the cleverness commanded to stop them. This is particularly true of the Czech situation: the Czechs are doing well. Of course, they were best off - not in their own state, but in that "candle of the nations", in the old Austria. Now the Czech have a decisive opportunity in the long term or perhaps forever. The Czech intellectuals, too, are to a large extent aware of the favour of the Czech situation with a friendly relationship with the German Reich and draw the conclusions from it with the large majority of Czechs. The firm, calm hand of the Reichsmacht in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia had to intervene so far - only in a disappearing number of cases. But it was there! You saw it and afterwards you behaved. The practical and factual loyalty even of those who cannot suffer the Germans may illuminate a true event from our days. A bomb night in Berlin. While it roared everywhere and shuddered, the horrendous organs still roared down and the flames blazing everywhere, the uniformed members of a Czech course were also used in the midst of Germans. Not mindful, hate there are Germans who stand Czech, one of these men shouted: "To jim patri! To jim patril" ("That happens to them right") But by the way, he did not do anything other than his comrades his duty and did not interfere with the fine image that this group of helpers also offered. Now, of course, something more is demanded: now the reasonable Czech must prevent the insanity and crime from setting fire. It is his own house! Now it is easy for the innocent to become guilty, that is, if he fails to be alert. Now it depends on every Czech. Now the Czech people as a whole have to prove what the rich stand for!
