Konrad Ernst Eduard Henlein (6 May 1898 – 10 May 1945) was a Sudeten German politician in Czechoslovakia before World War II. After Nazi Germany invaded and occupated Czechoslovakia he became the Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter of Reichsgau Sudetenland. Born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1898, Henlein served in the Austro-Hungarian Army in World War I. The Austrian Empire collapsed after that, and the Sudetenland, where Henlein lived, became part of newly created Czechoslovakia. He became active in the Deutscher Turnverband movement, a German nationalist and Völkisch athletic organization. In 1933, after the Machtergreifung of Hitler and his regime, he founded the Sudeten German Party of Czechoslovakia. Read more on Wikipedia
