Claim
Freikorpsliteratur und der Körper des soldatischen Mannes
Correction

The dissertation title is wrong. Authoritative biographical and library sources identify Theweleit’s dissertation as *Freikorpsliteratur: Vom deutschen Nachkrieg 1918–1923*, not *Freikorpsliteratur und der Körper des soldatischen Mannes*.

Full reasoning

This claim misstates the title of Klaus Theweleit’s dissertation.

A biographical page from the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein states: "1976 promovierte er mit der Dissertationsschrift Freikorpsliteratur: Vom deutschen Nachkrieg 1918−1923". An academic library catalog entry from KIT likewise lists Männerphantasien as having the former title "Freikorpsliteratur. Vom deutschen Nachkrieg. 1918 - 1923" and notes that it appeared partly as the Freiburg dissertation under that title.

These sources directly contradict the article’s claim that the dissertation was titled Freikorpsliteratur und der Körper des soldatischen Mannes. The evidence supports a different dissertation title entirely.
