Wow, amazing book written in the viewpoint of a young soldier in the trenches. This German soldier could have been any nationality, it reads through the struggle they live in day in day out. I've never really thought about it from the germans during the war.

This book could have been written from a German OR British perspective. There is no difference within the ranks of soldier during WW1. They were all just doing what they were told.

A man cannot realize that above such shattered bodies there are still human faces in which life goes its daily round. And this is only one hospital, one single station; there are hundreds of thousands in Germany, hundreds of thousands in France, hundreds of thousands in Russia. How senseless is everything that can ever be written, done, or thought, when such things are possible. It must be all lies and of no account when the culture of a thousand years could not prevent this stream of blood being poured out, these torture-chambers in their hundreds of thousands. A hospital alone shows what war is.
