If you get the chance try and read or watch the companion
work,Erich Maria Remarque’s “The Road Back”.

In which Paul survives the war along with some of his
comrades and has to deal with the aftermath both political,
physical and psychological, Even the PTSD of war dogs is
covered.

Everyone knows about “All Quiet” but most have not read
the mirror work.

Enjoy.

I didn't know about The Road Back. I'll read it. Thank you.

Right now I'm trying to download All Quiet so I can read it in German.

I love Remarque.

Today I watched again the scenes, in All Quiet, of the Professor. How he is like today's American "educators," who indoctrinate their students with their propaganda and mendacity!

Watching the Professor in the 1930 movie is like watching today's Professors in American classrooms from kindergarten to college.

My grandson (8th grade) recently said this to me:"My generation is the most cynical generation in American history." I think he's right. We who are honest know why.

There was a time when US teachers endeavoured to teach their students how to think. Today that's the last thing they want them to do (just like the Professor in All Quiet). They endeavour is to indoctrinate them--so that they cannot think for themselves!

Most do not realise what evil they are producing, with their propaganda, mendacity, and indoctrination.
