The most part of the Sudetenland was very poor. Near the border to Bavaria and Saxony it was very heavily industrialized. 1920 the SPD was the strongest party, but the right Parties were very fragmented. When you count them together they are stronger than the SPD.
1935 the people in the Sudetenland had only the choice between "back to Germany" and work together with the Czechs. That means Henlein's SDP and the SPD. For me it is no surprise that 80% of the Gemans want back to Germany and voted for the SDP. The Czech government has done everything in the twenties that the Germans disliked them. For example: they build big schools for Czech kids in cities where no Czech people live or they have sent officials ,who spoke only Czech, in villages where lived 100% Germans.
Parties who want a pragmatic handling with the Czechs had it very difficult. After 1933 the Henlein Party get so much money from the Nazi, then the other parties had no chance.
