The novel All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque, is the story of young Paul Baumer and Troop 9 as they battle in World War I on the Western Front for Germany. This novel differs from most every war novel in that it shows the true emotions and feelings of a soldier on the battle field.

He says: “I find I do not belong here anymore, it is a foreign world,” He has been away for so long, that he feels very distant from them.

For over four years, Paul has been fighting the greatest war in the 20th century, but on Paul is finally killed in October, 1918.

When it comes to war we tend to look the other way not because we think that war is the worst thing that is happening at this exact moment but because we tend not to know more about it. The definition of war is “A conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air”. War is something every country has in common just because there seems to always be something to be fighting about therefor, we seem to not put much interest in it unless we have a family member in it or the war is happening where we are. We should alway pay attention when war is happening not just because it’s important but because if we can't seem to change the way it is handle it may affect our everyday lives. So when it comes to how we should handle the way we portray the things that are happening in the war should we also support either the government or our president to hide information the might risk the life of an individual just so

Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front is one of the greatest war novels of all time. It is a story, not of Germans, but of men, who even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war. The entire purpose of this novel is to illustrate the vivid horror and raw nature of war and to change the popular belief that war has an idealistic and romantic character.  The story centers on Paul Baümer, who enlists in the German army with glowing enthusiasm.  In the course of war, though, he is consumed by it and in the end is "weary, broken, burnt out, rootless, and without hope"  (Remarque page #).

4. Men of Paul 's age group fear the end of the war because the war has taken up so much of their lives and personalities that they wouldn 't know how to function in a world without the war. They were conditioned to violence and battle. Moreover, they spent quite a few of their formative years in the war, and essentially grew up in combat. Older men in the war have jobs and families to which they can return; Paul and his friends have nothing of the sort. They often joke about becoming postmen like Himmelstoss, solely because they want to best him in his own field. In reality, though, they have no idea how they will operate in the world, even if they escape the war alive.

The Red Baron is a film directed by Nikolai Muellerschoen and produced by Niama-Film which was released on April 10, 2008 but wasn’t released in the US until March 19, 2010. This movie was based on a legendary German pilot who fought and died in World War 1. This pilot was known as Manfred von Richthofen. I believe that this film was nicely put together, the plot kept its viewers engaged and wanting to see what would happen next. In this essay I will be giving a brief explanation on the film and why it is or is not accurate and whether the producer did it on purpose or by mistake.
