'''Paul Alverdes''' (6 May 1897, [[Strasbourg]] – 28 February 1979, [[Munich]]) was a German [[novelist]] and [[poet]].<br />
<br />
The son of an officer and member of the [[German Youth Movement]], he volunteered for duty in [[World War I]] and received a severe injury to the throat. After 1922 he was a freelance author in Munich, and from 1934 to 1944, along with [[Karl Benno von Mechow]], he edited and published the journal ''[[Das innere Reich]].'' Alverdes's work was influenced by the youth movement and by the World War I front experience, whose purifying and "transforming" power he praised. Nonetheless, he was only moderately popular with National Socialists because he lacked an "activist-dynamic attitude". After 1945 he mainly wrote stories for children.<br />
