Konrad Henlein Hof in Bavaria March 17, 1938
Dear comrade!
It is not possible to express the feelings which the most fortunate turn of events has caused in us all. That you, dear comrade, as a born Sudeten German in one of the most decisive hours in German history, carried out so masterfully the mission given you by the Fuehrer fills us with pride.
I express herewith the gratitude which comes from the heart of the Sudeten Germandom. Your accomplishment, achieved in allegiance to the Fuehrer, will have its effect upon our situation in the next weeks. I
I am looking forward to the day when after years I can come to our beloved free German Austria. I hope then to be able to congratulate you personally. .
Heil Hitler!
signed your Konrad Henlein
