He desperately wanted to sign-up for the German Army but was rejected for health reasons due to his physical disability. He was rejected because they considered his height (he was under five feet tall) and his clubfoot as disabilities ("Joseph Goebbels." People of the Holocaust). “Throughout his life, Goebbels suffered from what he regarded as the stigma of being unable to serve his country in time of war.

On November 11th,1918 the German government signed the Armistice: Goebbels and many Germans were shocked by both pieces of news. Goebbels and Anka Stalherm then began to argue about politics because he was worried about the plight of the workers while Anka Stalherm remained true to her upper-class origins which almost lead to the end of their relationship (Goebbels).

He was working on his doctorate under Professor Max von Waldberg. In November 1921 he received his doctoral diploma and later wrote in his journal that he had felt very proud when Professor Waldberg called him "Herr Doktor" for the first time

First, Weisel depicts the conditions that the victims were put through by describing their bodily state when being forced to walk miles. He describes his death march experience as “putting one foot in front of the other” and that he was “dragging ... this skeletal body which weighed so much.” (81). The Auschwitz prisoners were often put through physical abuse, their bodies were often pushed to their limits to such an extent that they no longer felt they were humans, but instead bags of bones. Furthermore, Wiesel tells of his neighbor who was made to do horrifying tasks that would leave mental scars for as long as he lives.
