Alfred Braun (1888 to 1978) was a pioneer of German radio, born in Berlin and later dying in West Berlin. He became famous as a radio reporter and radio play director. He was also an actor, a stage and film director and a screenwriter, active from 1920 to 1967. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1933 but released, and then emigrated. He returned to Berlin in 1939; in 1940 he worked as assistant director on the propaganda film Jud Süß, and he then wrote several screenplays in partnership with Veit Harlan during the Nazi era. His career shows how early broadcasting talent moved between radio, theatre and film, and how a radio pioneer worked within the political system of his time.
