English Translation

-* 5 - conscious isolation from the German neighbour, which was based on a false historical myth, meaning piiitically. He had been coined in the core sentences of Palacky, which went to the point that it was the eternal task of the Czech people to resist the German people in the middle of Europe, to lead the small powers in the struggle for the interests of Western "humanity" here in Europe against the Reich. This myth and the associated attitude towards the German Reich collapsed at the time. Thus, what was created in March l939 was in itself the logical and theatrical consequence of what had taken place in l938. And when Slovakia declared its withdrawal from the Czech Republic in 1939, the only way left for the Czechs to either start an insane rebellion against the Reich and risk their own existence or to go the only reasonable way to Berlin, and the President Dr. Hácha has gone this way. It goes without saying that the Czech people, who were so torn out of their dreams, first survived the facts as stunned benevolent and that certain elements from this stun and this shock did not have too difficult to create a certain restlessness. Thus, both in the Zei's after the outbreak of the war in autumn l939, as after the beginning of the War with the Soviet Union l94l, we can state that only a partly communist clique, which is limited in its own right and controlled by foreign countries, is currently controlled. At the universities he had found his place, and, in part, composed of eminent officers, tried to push up a resistance, because she believed that the hitherto mild regime of the empire was merely an expression of weakness and that the empire would not be able during the war; the resistance, where he was censored, would be defeated. The two trials failed very quickly and did not damage the empire, but they have inflicted severe damage on the Czech Velk with the closure of the schools and in the second case with the personal sacrifice of the people who had dared to rise up under the war laws against the fighting empire. I recall the episode under the government of the Prime Minister Eliás, who had to be convicted of treason. But when these two episodes were over, the calm construction was immediately reversed.
