Sudetenland was very important to Hitler as it contained roughly 3 million German speaking people. Since, Hitler believed in Anschluss ( reuniting all German speaking), this is why Sudetenland very important to him.

Furthermore, Sudetenland is very ( and I mean very) important for Czechoslovakia as it contained their industries. So, losing Sudetenland means losing their industries as well as their defense.

The Sudetenland was a region of Czechoslovakia that had a large German population, so Germany, as the country for all German people, considered it a travesty that this territory was not part of Germany. Second, the acquisition of the Sudetenland would make Czechoslovakia incapable of defending its capital of Prague as a functional matter. When the Nazis were given control of the Sudetenland as a result of the Munich Conference of 1938, the Nazis wasted no time in conquering the rest of Czechoslovakia.
