 | | After serving as tutor to the Bismarcks, he volunteered for service in World War 1, where he met the leader of the ‘Wandervogel’ youth movement, Ernst Wurche, whose motto ‘Rein bleiben und reif werden’ (‘stay pure, become mature’) inspired Flex to his 1917 war novel Der Wanderer zwischen beiden Welten. |
