I never though about the political aspect. That's a good point indeed.

Even after Word War II Thomas Mann got critized for his strict anti-fascist position. German communists and socialists claimed that they're the only ones with 'the right' to be anti-fascists. Thomas Mann received the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt in 1949 and he was called a traitor in some daily papers. Although the war against Hitler was won, Germany was not his home anymore. Same with Hermann Hesse.
