Nazi Sudeten policy stated in clear terms
Berlin reports that Germany views the Sudeten question as central to its future foreign policy. If Czechoslovakia grants self government to the 3.5 million Germans, Germany would seek economic dominance in central and southeastern Europe. Should negotiations fail, Hitler could pursue force, risking a European war to unite all Germans. A Nazi official outlined plans to re unite Germans under the Reich, with Sudeten Germans gaining autonomy and strong German influence across border states. Germany seeks protection for German minorities and opposition to foreign policies harmful to Germany, while Britain and France are urged to accept Germany’s sphere of influence in the region.
