Three Men in the Snow (German: Drei Männer im Schnee) is a 1934 novel by the German writer Erich Kästner. The novel is about an eccentric millionaire who disguises himself as a poor man and wins a stay at a fancy hotel in the Alps, while an actually poor man also wins a stay at the hotel and is mistaken as wealthy. The story was an expansion from Kästner's 1927 short story "Inferno im Hotel". Three Men in the Snow was published in Switzerland in 1934 and initially had unclear legal status in Germany. The Ministry of Propaganda had banned the sale of Kästner's books in Germany in the autumn of 1934, but this was not applied consistently and Three Men in the Snow was available in Berlin.
