Heidegger had actually read deep into Sartre’s Being and Nothingness
Evidence
Heidegger’s earlier letter to Sartre had invited him to come to Todtnauberg: ‘In our little hut we could philosophise together, and go for skiing trips in the Black Forest.’ According to Towarnicki, Heidegger had been impressed by Sartre’s description of skiing in Being and Nothingness — which comes towards the end, suggesting that Heidegger had got well into the Dreck after all. — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café, 642
