Braun published his first crime novels at the age of 18. He developed into a frequent and fast writer of novels and plays, some of which were also made into films. In particular, he wrote a large number of screenplays for entertainment films of all kinds, mostly comedies , but also crime films and film dramas . As a co-author, he was also involved in the two productions, Der Herrscher (1936) and The Discharge (1942), which were clearly committed to National Socialist ideas .
His play Mit mein Augen , a play about love problems created in 1943, was the last performance at the Staatstheater Berlin in autumn 1944, directed by Helmut Käutner, before the general theater was closed. In later years Braun also wrote radio plays and television plays .
Text example 1931
“A car owner doesn't have one mistress like every other man, but two : the woman of his heart and - his car. The day you get into your car for the first time is as beautiful as a wedding. When buying a car, there are almost only love marriages. When you stroke the leather upholstery perfumed with Russian fragrances for the first time, you feel the delicate dress of a woman in your hands. If you open the hood for the first time, you can see clearly and shiningly the soul of a living being. [...] A new carriage is like [...] a virgin, raised in monastic seclusion, who should only become a person under your hands. [...] Don't be too stormy on your wedding night. [...] Be gentle with your car. Play with the clutch as if you were stroking a woman's hands; - when you step on the gas, feel how the nerves of the beautiful human under you begin to vibrate and do not overstimulate them. [...] Yet. Every marriage needs storms, don't forget! Your lover is jealous too! Your car also occasionally wants to show its power to offer you new stimuli. "
