Walter von Molo was a German writer known for his involvement in the literary scene during the early to mid-20th century. He is notable for his correspondence with fellow authors, including Thomas Mann, particularly during the tumultuous years surrounding the rise of the Nazi regime. In a letter to Mann in 1945, he encouraged his return to Germany, to which Mann declined, expressing his disillusionment with the literature produced during the Nazi era.
