German novelist. During the Second World War he was as a war correspondent which provided many experiences for his novels. His novels often deal with war from the point of view of the German soldiers and their families. For instance, Das geschenkte Gesicht / The Bestowed Face, deals with a German soldier's recovery after his sledge ran over a personnel mine and destroyed his face, and how this affected his relationship with his wife at home. It places no judgment on the German position in the war and simply deals with human beings in often desperate situations, doing what they were forced to do under German military law.
