Theodor Otto Richard Plievier (Plivier, until 1933) (12 February 1892, Berlin – 12 March 1955, Avegno, Switzerland) was a German writer best known for his 1948 anti-war novel Template:Interlanguage link.
During World War I, he served on the SMS Wolf. After the war, he released his first novel, Des Kaisers Kulis (The Kaiser's Coolies), about his experiences on board the ship. It would later be adapted into a stageplay, and was banned after the Nazi Machtergreifung.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
