 * Symbol question.svg Touching biography, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The hook sounds interesting but sounds like there was a connection between war experiences and the suicide, which I don't see in the article. Also "Subsequently" tells me "soon afterwards. I would prefer to not mention the suicide in the hook, - the contrast of philosophy and war seems interesting enough. Article: I'd prefer a few more years, if available, such as of the wedding (was it really "early life?), and the writing of the war memoirs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:23, 5 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Added an Alt. Revised the early life heading. Unfortunately we don't know much more about him so I can't add any more about his marriage or the genesis of the memoirs. I will do the QPQ shortly. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:50, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
