Sudetendeutsche nationalsozialistische Partei or Sudeten German National Socialist Party was organized following World War I to support the Volkgennosen of the German workers and the solving of society's ills with what was purported to be a synthesis of nationalism and socialism for the betterment of all in the Sudeten region of modern Czechoslovakia. The history of this party is centered around Eger which is German for Cheb and Aussig which is German for Ústí. The party developed under the Austro-Hungarian Empire when German speaking laborers organized themselves to promote their interests. This party formed to fight the encroaching 'alien domination' of Czech workers in the industrialized regions of Bohemia and Moravia. Upon the dissolution of the Dual Monarchy, the general Austrian DNSAP split into its particular national entities. Hans Knirsch was its leader from 1918 to 1933 when he was succeeded by Konrad Henlein. (1) When the Austrian-Hungarian Empire was dissolved at the end of the Frst World War and the Sudetenland became part of the new state of Czechslovakia the party advocated anschluss with Germany.
