'''Hans Erich Nossack''' (30 January 1901 &ndash; 2 November 1977) was a German writer. Among his works are ''[[An Offering for the Dead]]'' (1947), ''Spätestens im November'' (1955), ''Der jüngere Bruder'' (1958) and ''Ein glücklicher Mensch'' (1975). In 1961 Nossack was awarded the [[Georg Büchner Prize]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Hans Erich Nossack |url=https://www.deutscheakademie.de/en/awards/georg-buechner-preis/hans-erich-nossack |website=Deutsche Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung |access-date=12 November 2023 |language=en}}</ref> One of his most famous works is ''The End: Hamburg 1943'', written 3 months after the bombing of [[Hamburg]] by the allies during the [[Second World War]]. [[W. G. Sebald]], in his book ''[[On the Natural History of Destruction]]'' wrote, "Indeed, it seems that no German writer, with the exception of Nossack, was ready or able to put any concrete facts down on paper about the progress or repercussions of this gigantic, long-term campaign of destruction."<ref name="Sebald">{{cite book|last=Sebald|first=W.

In 2006, when ''The End'' was published for the first time in English, by the [[University of Chicago Press]], [[Publishers Weekly]] wrote that "Nossack's remarkable witnessing has real and urgent value."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780226595566 |title=The End: Hamburg 1943 |access-date=July 18, 2025}}</ref><br />
