Braun was born in Ulm, Bavaria. His victory at the 1970 Isle of Man TT was notable because he was one of only seven riders to have won an Isle of Man TT race in their first attempt. Due to the circuit's 37.7 mile length, it usually takes competitors two or three attempts before they learn its nuances.
Braun is also known for an incident that occurred immediately after he won the East German Grand Prix in the 1971 season. As the West German national anthem was being played during the winner's ceremony, the East German crowd began singing the words to the anthem. The East German government reacted by making the following year's East German Grand Prix an invitation only race, and in 1973, the race was stricken from the Grand Prix calendar.
He also raced in cars, entering five races with Team Warsteiner Eurorace in the 1975 European Formula Two Championship (effectively starting the race on four of that occasions).
Braun's career ended after a serious accident at the 1977 350cc Austrian Grand Prix at the Salzburgring. Provided by Wikipedia
