PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUICKLY I have now given the British Government a memorandum with a final German proposal. . . . The contents of this proposal are very simple: The area whose population is German and which wants to join Germany, comes to Germany . . . right now, immediately! I have selected the border which, based on the information on the demographic and linguistic distribution in Czechoslovakia which has been available for decades, is just. . . . I have also assured [Britain], and I repeat this assurance here, that, once this problem is solved, there exist no further territorial problems for Germany in Europe! . . . My patience is now exhausted! I have made Mr. Benes [the leader of Czechoslovakia] an offer. . . . The decision is in his hands! Peace or war! Either he accepts this offer and finally gives the Germans their freedom, or we will come and take this freedom ourselves!

–Speech on the Sudetenland,
