There he was responsible for the series “Young Germans” in the equipment of ER Weiss, which until then published hardly or unknown authors such as Klaus Mann or Heinrich Hauser . The idea of ​​a magazine, called “Die Ausfahrt”, was discarded, an “appeal to young people”, which should be signed by every employee, was only printed in the anthology that was published instead, which was in deliberate contrast to expressionism and agitation literature.
