 In 1921, Paul Hindemith, a German composer of Classical music and fellow veteran of the Great War, turned Stramm's play "Sancta Susanna", about a nun who breaks her vow of chastity, into an opera with the same name.The premiere, however, was not without controversy among members of the Roman Catholic Church in Germany, to whom the subject matter was understandingly very offensive.English translations of poems by Stramm were published by Patrick Bridgwater (August Stramm, 22 Poems, 1969) and Jeremy Adler (Tim Cross, "The Lost Voices of World War I", 1988).
