	1938: Czechoslovakia - Archive Article - MSN Encarta
		A month later Konrad Henlein presented to the Party Congress of the Sudeten German Party in Karlsbad eight demands which aimed not only to bring about the complete autonomy of the German minority, but also full sway for Nazi principles within democratic Czechoslovakia.
		Meanwhile Konrad Henlein proclaimed the desire of the Sudeten Germans for incorporation in the German Reich, but the Czechoslovak Government dissolved the Sudeten-German Party and ordered the arrest for treason of Henlein who had fled to Germany.
		Henlein formed the armed Sudeten-German Frickorps, and issued a call to arms for his followers to join the new military formation for forceful liberation of the Sudeten-German territory.

		Konrad Henlein (May 6, 1898 - May 10, 1945) was the most important pro-Nazi politician in Czechoslovakia and leader of Sudeten German separatists.
		In the first half of the 1930s, Henlein made a pro-Czechoslovak and overtly anti-Nazi point in his public speeches and did not become a follower of Adolf Hitler until 1937, when the pro-German camp within the Sudeten-German Party (SdP) represented by Karl Hermann Frank emerged victorious.
		Henlein then became Gruppenführer (later Obergruppenführer) SS and a Reichstag deputy.

	Konrad Henlein - DiscussAnything.com -
		It was not long before Henlein “advanced” in his career, first becoming a leader of the German Gymnastic Union in Czechoslovakia and then, by 1933, coming forth as the founder of the German Heimatfront.
		He was well rewarded for his treachery to the Czechs: in October of 1938 Henlein was appointed Gauleiter of Czechoslovakia; he became a member of the Reichstag and on May 1, 1939 he was appointed head of the Civil Administration in the Sudeten Deutsche area.
		This lecture was delivered by Henlein on 4th March, 1941, in the auditorium of the University of Vienna, under the auspices of the Wiener Verwaltungsakademie.

		Konrad Henlein, the leader of the Sudeten German Party [SdP], the principal political organisation representing the German minority within Czechoslovakia, together with his deputy, Karl Hermann Frank, visited Berlin on 28 March 1938.
		Henlein's Party, which was formed after the Czechoslovak authorities banned the German National Socialist Party, received secret financial support from the German Government.
		He told Henlein that he knew how popular he [Henlein] was and that he was the rightful leader of the Sudeten German element, and as a result of his popularity and attractiveness he would triumph over circumstances.

	Czechoslovakia - ninemsn Encarta
		Following the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party in Germany in 1933, the three million Sudeten Germans rallied to the Sudeten German party founded by Konrad Henlein, a former gymnastic instructor.
		Encouraged by Hitler, Henlein made increasingly radical demands on the Czechoslovak government for self-rule for the German minority.
		He rejected such proffered concessions as guarantees of equal opportunity in government service and equal unemployment benefits, and called for the complete restructuring of the country along nationalistic lines while demanding that the German minority be placed under Hitler's direct protection.

	The Execution of the plan to invade Czechoslovakia
		It is a self-evident prerequisite that during the impending discussion with the Czechoslovak Government the Sudeten Germans would be firmly controlled by Konrad Henlein, would maintain quiet and discipline, and would avoid indiscretions.
		For further cooperation, Konrad Henlein was instructed to keep in the closest possible touch with the Reichsminister and the Head of the Central Office for Racial Germans (mit dem Leiter der Volksdeutschen Mittelstelle), as well as the German Minister in Prague, as the local representative of the Foreign Minister.
		It will be recalled that in his speech in Vienna, Henlein had admitted that he had been selected by the Nazi conspirators in the fall of 1933 to take over the political leadership of the Sudeten Germans (2863-PS).

		The adaptability of the SA to whatever purpose was required of it is demonstrated by its activities subsequent to the outbreak of the war.

		Drtina in his memoirs describes the historic meeting in some detail, naming the participants, including me. Henlein, who was accompanied by his lieutenants, proclaimed his devotion to democracy, accommodation with the Czechs, and loyalty to the republic.
		When Henlein published his memoirs, he admitted that from the beginning he followed Hitler's orders.

		Sometime afterwards, when there was no longer need for pretense and deception, Konrad Henlein made a clear and frank statement of the mission assigned to him by the Nazi conspirators.

		The conversations Henlein had proposed took place in the Foreign Office in Berlin on the 29th of March 1938.
		He then explained, in view of the directives which the Führer himself had given to Konrad Henlein personally yesterday afternoon, that there were two questions which were of outstanding importance for the conduct of policy of the Sudeten German Party."

		Regarded as a war criminal by Nuremberg trial.
		As Henlein pursued against mixed marriages after 1938, he was forced to change his still-living mother's name from Dvořáček to Dworatschek, which sounded more German and thus was more comfortable for Henlein's career as a high Nazi official.
		In September 1938 he helped organize hundreds of terrorist attacks and two coup d'etat attempts in Czechoslovak border areas settled by German-speaking citizens and instigated by Hitler's frenetic speech in Nuremberg.

		As early as 1933, Nazi Party members such as Konrad Henlein had already infiltrated the political scene in Czechoslovakia, stirring trouble.
		France, on the other hand, had a direct mutual protection pact with Czechoslovakia and she boasted the finest army in the world, but Prime Minister Edouard Daladier of France also was uneasy standing up to Germany.
		As Britain and France idled, more and more German troops gathered on the Czech border under the pretense of military exercise, while Henlein falsely promised the world that all his Sudetendeutsche Partei wished to do was to achieve Sudetenland independence when in fact he was on Berlin's payroll.

		This led, in 1935, to the emergence of a new German nationalist party led by Konrad Henlein, called the Sudetendeutsche Partei.
		Churchill himself was not fully aware of this and had agreed to meet Henlein, who insisted he was still a loyal Czechoslovak citizen and not Hitler’s stooge, during the latter’s upcoming visit to England in May 1938 to court the British appeasers.
		Beneš knew in his bones that Henlein was working not only for the absorption of the Sudetenland into the Reich but also for the disintegration of Czechoslovakia.

		There suddenly appeared on Czechoslovakia's political horizon an earnest, near-sighted German-speaking gymnasium instructor named Konrad Henlein, organizer of a party known as the Sudetendeutsch Heimat Front.
		There were general parliamentary elections throughout Czechoslovakia last week, and to the acute distaste of most of Prague, Führer Henlein's party topped every other in the country with 1,294,000 votes against the Agrarian's second highest: 1,176,000.
		In Germany beer halls echoed with jubilant shouts of ''Heil Henlein!'', while in Czechoslovakia Führer Henlein was still paying lip service to bearded old President Thomas Masaryk.

		The Sudetenland leader Konrad Henlein, acting on secret orders from Hitler, demanded an autonomous German national territory.
		Benes was prepared to go far in meeting these demands, but he could not go far enough; as Carr had surmised, Henlein did not want agreement.
		The next day Chamberlain flew to Germany to meet Hitler, and agreed with him on Sudetenland ‘self-determination.’ Returning to London, Chamberlain told his cabinet that Hitler, whom he thought could be trusted, had emphasized that he wanted only the Sudetenlanders, and no Czechs, in the Reich.

		During an Sudeten German Party [SdP] rally held in Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary) on 23 and 24 April 1938, Konrad Henlein outlined his party's demands in an eight-point programme.
		The demands were designed to appear innocuous to outside observers but the Czechoslovak authorities found the final point particularly unacceptable, arguing that it was not possible to allow the establishment of a Nazi system within the territory of a democratic state.
