They were amazingly creative and brilliant people- Thomas Mann was a part of it and though over the 1920s as increasingly came to support the SDP distanced himself from but for all that remained very much of it and he was without doubt the greatest novelist of the 20 the century, and than of course we have Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Stefan George, Ernst Juenger the award winning novelist, brilliant scientist and most decorated German Soldier in World War I and the list goes on and on. Thankfully among my generation they are being brought back to attention.
