Even though it is a work of fiction, there is barely no distinction between what happened to Paul and his classmates and thousand real young man who went off to war thinking they were doing their duty for the country, only to be thrown into a meat-grinder and slaughtered without even a chance to survive.
Amazing book that is ever so relevant to any decade and time period. Yes, it is a novel that denounces war in all its ugly forms, yet here we are in the future and have learned nothing from one of two of the biggest and deadliest events in history.

The quintessential anti-war story. Written in first person from the author’s personal experience on the frontline in the German forces during WWI. We listen to his inner thoughts and fears as he progresses from patriotic fighter to dissenter, no longer seeing enemies but seeing only human beings. It is hauntingly graphic in detailing the horrific suffering of wartime military and civilian lives.
Einfach unbeschreiblich! Muss man unbedingt gelesen haben!

Jeg tror vitterligt det er det vildeste jeg nogensinde har læst! Slugte den i bus, tog og fly. Som at være i skyttegravene selv, forstå hvorfor de arme stakler kæmpede. Ligegyldigheden ved krig. Tabet. Kammeratskabet. Hvor grusomt det på alle måder er! Fuck fuck fuck!! Shit manner!!
Også ret klassebevidst ift. hvem der fik noget ud af krigen! Fabriksejere der blev rige osv. mens pøblen døde i mudderet - og alle soldater fra alle nationer er ens!! Dog med det sagt, kan man godt mærke den er skrevet i 1928, på siden hvor europæiske soldater sammenlignes med sorte soldater ift. gammeldags racistisk tænkning. Men det fylder kun en halv side!
Amazing bog at læse! Helt ødelagt inden i! Jeg græd flere gange i flyet!! Shit manner! Fuck! Tænk at dø så ligegyldigt og se alle sine venner dø, og mennesker sprunget i luften.
