Henlein: Leader of the Sudeten Germans

Konrad Henlein (1898–1945), a native of Vratislavice nad Nisou, is one of the figures who left a significant and indelible mark on modern Czech, or rather Czechoslovak, history. However, he is among those whose 'mark' had a fatally negative impact. A soldier in the First World War, a bank clerk, an instructor for the German Gymnastic Association (Deutscher Turnverband), the leader of the Sudeten German Homeland Front and later the Sudeten German Party, and from 1938–1945 a leading official of the 'Sudetengau' as part of the German Reich…
The author provides a detailed account of Henlein's personal and family life, his character traits, his political career, and his end in a prisoner-of-war camp in Pilsen. The book includes a large number of photographs, some of which have never been published before.
