Bertolt Brecht wanted to become an important writer from his youth. In his self-image, success was an essential part of this: reputation, fame, money that he wanted to earn with his poetry. He planned his career almost strategically. A certain moral flexibility was an advantage, which led, among other things, to the fact that he always sought contacts with influential personalities without paying particular attention to their political position. Particularly noteworthy in this context are his contacts with representatives of the National Socialist cultural elite, which Brecht had sought and cultivated since the late forties. So far, this has not been adequately investigated in research. Perhaps in order not to question Brecht’s image as a socialist pillar saint?
