Eberhard Wolfgang Mller

Vocation

German dramatist and poet, a member of the Nazi Party, with a career as a National Socialist author and cultural official. In 1934, he was employed as a theatre critic in the Theatre Division of the Reich Propaganda Ministry. Rothschild siegt bei Waterloo, Möller's most successful stage production, was written in 1934. It was an anti-Semitic comedy set in the Napoleonic era. During the war, he was involved in writing the screenplay for the anti-Semitic film Jud Süss (1940). The film had initially been suggested by scriptwriter Ludwig Metzger, but Möller was brought in to help in 1939. Although he had no experience in scriptwriting, he was considered ideologically reliable. Another celebrated work was his Thingspiel, Das Frankenburger Würfelspiel, set in the seventeenth century, which had its première at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Eberhard Wolfgang Möller died on 1 January 1972, aged 65, in Bietigheim. Link to Wikipedia biography
