Sebastian Leitner (1919 – 1989) was a German commentator and science popularizer. In his 1972 book So lernt man Lernen (Learning to Learn)[1] he advocated learning with flashcards.[citation needed]
Leitner was born in 1919 in Salzburg.[citation needed]
As a student in Vienna, he was briefly kept in custody by the Nazis in 1938 because of his opposition to the annexation of Austria into Greater Germany.[2] Later he moved to Frankfurt to study law, and he joined the Nazi army in 1942. After spending several years in a Soviet POW camp, he returned to Germany in 1949 and started a career as a commentator. His wife was the Austrian journalist and author Thea Leitner.[citation needed]
