Konrad Henlein

Japanese: ヘンライン - へんらいん(英語表記)Konrad Henlein
Konrad Henlein

A leader of the Sudeten German Party in Czechoslovakia. He served in the army during World War I, but later became a banker. In 1931, he became president of the Czech German Gymnastics Association, and in October 1933, he founded the Sudeten German Patriotic Front. This demanded autonomy for the Sudeten German minority, but was in fact a branch of the Nazi Party. Two years later, it changed its name to the Sudeten German Party, and in the 1935 general election, it won 44 seats and became the second largest party in the Czech Republic. It received financial support from Nazi Germany, and after the unification of Germany and Austria in 1938, it worked closely with Hitler and tried to return the Sudetenland to Germany. After the German occupation of Sudetenland under the Munich Agreement, he became a state commissar for the Sudetenland, and in May 1939 he became a district leader and governor. At the end of World War II, he was arrested by the US military and committed suicide in a prisoner-of-war camp.
