NotesDer Untertan (translated into English under the titles Man of Straw, The Patrioteer, and The Loyal Subject) is a novel by German author Heinrich Mann. The title character, Diederich Hessling, a dedicated 'Untertan' in the sense of a person subservient to a monarch or prince, is an immoral man who is meant to serve as an allegory of both the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II and German society of his time.
