Abstract

This study uses unpublished sources of British and Czech provenance to analyse a number of visits made by Sudeten German Party leader, Konrad Henlein, to London which occurred between 1935 and 1938. It is shown that he managed to present the ever-more pressing Sudeten German issue in a manner which helped to create the image of a challenging life for the German minority in Czechoslovakia.
