You guys are very right. I was a Sergeant in the Infantry. Attitude and fear are contagious. If the men see you down they are likely to reflect that if that is all they see but if you set a positive example of confident leadership and courage they will follow you anywhere.

One of my closest friends great grandfather served in the US Army during WW1 in France. He was profoundly mentally scarred from his experience for his entire life. We lost a whole generation of young men who never came back from that war ever the same. Unbelievably after the level of human carnage never seen before in history 21 short years later that same death bell of war would ring again and WW2 began.

Thank you for your reaction. The original title of the novel is "Nothing New in the West". This does not mean quiet, but nothing new, so always the same. There was fighting and dying for years without the course of the front changing. For years the soldiers stood in the blood of their comrades. Senseless horror, like (almost) every war.

read the book , its a masterpiece , i read in many times , its like a cold shower for everyone who thinks that war is cool or fun , no , its not.

“This is neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all, an adventure. For death is not an adventure, to those who stand face to face with it” this will be a story of a German soldier in World War 1. We rarely get WW1 movies I’m excited for this

This is what I needed while the end of 2022 comes near

My family has served in the military for a long time All the way back to WW1 and beyond if I’m correct it was the German side they served on for WW1 they described the horrors and fighting I don’t remember who but someone in my family said they saw their friend get struck by an artillery shell and got blown to bits along with seeing their friend burnt by flamethrowers war is not fun to even think our leaders consider this a probable solution to prove beliefs or prove a point is extremely sad

I must say, with several relatives who served in the French army during the First World War (one of whom was killed in action) it’s a really interesting twist to see us being depicted as the enemy in modern film, with the point of view of the story being in the perspective of the Germans. Can’t wait for this.

I read it when I was 15 and it made a huge impression on me even more then the movies (first was made in 1930 and the second in 1979) This movie actually the 2nd remake and the first German production.

Hearing that whistle must have been like someone announcing you death sentence, salute to all the veterans 🪖

The saddest part about about ww1 and ww2 in my opinion is that majority of the people fighting were not warriors, they were teachers / laborers etc and had very little training in comparison to warriors in the past. Knights were trained pretty much daily from the age of 7 to 21 and even then knighthood wasn't guaranteed.

You guys should both read the book before the movie comes out. You’ll appreciate it a lot more. It’s absolutely phenomenal and not a very long book. Highly recommend it

My great grandad fought during the First World War, he had part of his skull blown off. When he came back he had massive trauma after the war. I know he spent all his pay on gambling and drinking on the boat on the way back home.

It was one of the most absurd wars of all time. From all sides. During the Sarajevo assassination on June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife Sophie Chotek, Duchess of Hohenberg, were assassinated during their visit to Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Serbian nationalist movement Mlada Bosna (Bosnia). . This resulted in a world war with "17" million dead. Every war is brutal. During this war, many soldiers were burned or gassed. A brutal nightmare. And yet there is war again in Europe because of a madman in Moscow.

Those men who fought in WW1 had bravery beyond normal person. No man's land littered with the dead. Marching off like a walk in the park.

Fun fact: The Germans never had slavery or slave markets. What the British and French achieved in 100 years with enormous slavery, Germans did in 40 years with hard work. Yes the Germans had colonies but unlike the British and French the Germans invested in these colonies because they were a base to protect our trade. Which was absolutely unthinkable at the time as everyone else in Africa was just letting hell loose. You can also look at the comparison between the British Empire and the German Empire in terms of economy. We were almost on par with the British even though we didn't even had nearly as many colonies. In addition, the British colonies contributed much more to their economy than Great Britain itself. For us it was exactly the opposite... Germany contributed 70% of the economy. The German Empire was truly an absolute high. From 1871 to 1923, the Germans were also responsible for *90* percent of ALL scientific and medical advances in the world with incredible inventions like the car, motorcycle, camera, etc. Before the British started World War I because they were jealous of us, it was actually the best 40 years ever here in Germany. Of course, based on today's technology, less so, but for the time... Absolutely unbelievable. At this time the first health insurance company was even introduced here in Germany by Otto von Bismarck. They still don't exist in the US today. Furthermore, German workers under Wilhelm II were the best paid workers in Europe. Also Some German inventions: - Light bulbs (Heinrich Göbel 1854) - The Telephone (Johann Philip Reis 1859) - Dynamoelectric principle, tram, busbar, founder of modern electronics (Werner von Siemens 1866) - The 35mm camera (Oskar Barnack 1925) - Nuclear fission and atomic bomb (Otto Hahn - emigrated to the Americans during National Socialism - 1938) - The chip card or microprocessor card (Jürgen Dethloff and Helmut Gröttrub 1969) - Periodic Table (Julius Luther Meyer 1864) - Jeans (Levi Strauss 1873) - The record player, record - (Emil Berliner 1887) - Aspirin - which all great athletes use to relieve pain and which saved countless lives (Felix Hoffmann 1879) - Spark plug (Robert Bosch 1902) - Thermos flask (Reinhold Burger 1903) - the toothpaste (Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg) - The coffee filter (Melitta Bentz) - Cassette recorder (Fritz Pfleumer 1928) - Tea bags (Adolf Rambold 1929) - The jet engines, jet propulsion, first war rockets V1, V2 of the Nazis (Hans von Ohain 1929) - First Rocket General (Hans von Ohain) - The Helicopter (Heinrich Focke 1936) - The first car (Carl Benz - With Honorary Schnauzer - 1886) - First computer (Konrad Zuse 1941) - Fanta (Yes Fanta during Nazi era, Wolfgang Schetelig 1940) - The typewriter (Peter Mitterhofer - 1869) - NASA (actually the US bought thousands of German engineers to build NASA because they can't do it themselves) - The first printing press (which was probably the best invention of all time because now people could start printing books, Johannes Gutenberg - 1440) - Motorcycle (Gottlieb Daimler 1885) - Birth control pill (Schering AG 1961) - the trigger of the gold rush (Johann August Sutter was Swiss, but actually German since he was born in Germany, but Swiss and German are one blood anyway, who started the gold rush in America. Not an inventor, but cool fact - 1848) - Diesel engine (Rudolf Diesel 1897) - Adidas (Adolf Dassler 1949) - Puma (Rudolf Dassler 1948) Germany, the land of poets and thinkers. that's what they called it. Today the land of complete idiots and deluded people.

Ww1 was an absolute meat grinder. It must be said, the german military was the best in the world. They practically took on the world by themselves and almost won. Russia was defeated and collapsed into revolution, frances army was demoralized and refused to fight. Italian front collapsed, serbia, romania and Belgium were over run. The last standing army was the british. The germans, starving due to a british naval blockade were too exhausted by that point to take advantage. The brits and french reenforced italy, france got their crap together, and America finally joined the fighting stopping the great german offensive. With their offensive failed, the german army finally collapsed and they would sign an armistice which turned out to be a 20 year ceasefire. The unresolved issues of ww1 would cause ww2. Combined ww1/ww2, in a span of 30 years, 120-150 million people will die, depending how the numbers are counted. (Not including those who died to spanish flu)

One thing to note, the story is fictional. The author did serve in the German army in 1916, but not long before he was wounded. For a real story, I highly recommend Storm of Steel by Ernst Jünger. He was a stormtroop lieutenant and served from 1914 to 1918 and was at the front for most of his service. Jünger lived to 102 years old and was very fond of drugs recreationally, taking LSD with the man who created it.

So, Paul isn’t real, but a lot of what Paul experienced is from real stories in a way.
