Downfall of the Egotist Johann Fatzer

Downfall of the Egotist Johann Fatzer is an unfinished play by Bertolt Brecht. The piece, begun in 1926, Der Untergang des Egoisten Johnann Fatzer, or Downfall of the Egotist Johann Fatzer is often called the Fatzer Fragments, or simply Fatzer.

Brecht wrote Fatzer over a period of years, 1926-30, basing the original idea on a newspaper report about four soldiers who had deserted from the Western Front of World War I, and were eventually discovered and killed by the German police.

The idea for the play clearly intrigued Brecht, for he kept returning to it over a period of years, working on it simultaneously with numerous other works (as was often his creative style), including the often produced anti-war play, Man Equals Man (Mann ist Mann), which was completed in 1926.
