    Freikorps Konrad Henlein


    Recommended Posts

    Bought a mixed paper convolute at the flea-market last weekend. One piece is a membership certificate for Freikorps Konrad Henlein. Strictly not belonging to 1933 era of Freikorp, nevertheless a Freikorp. I must admit I'd never hear of this Freikorp before. Known also as Sudetendeutsche Freikorp and Sudetendeutsche Legion. What I found out was Hitler ordered its formation 17th Sept 1938 although it was a short-lived Freikorp, dissolved in March 1939, when the Wehrmacht marched into the unoccupied part of Czechoslovakia. During its short life, this paramilitary group was extremely active, responsible for over 50 assassinations and a large number of terror acts against Czech citizens and installations. I wonder do members have any pictures of the insignia they wore or indeed any information would be welcome.

    Regards
