All Quiet on the Western Front
Describe the scene in the field after the battle is over. What do the men see? How many men did the company lose?
Chapter 6
Chapter 6
Here is a quote:
"We see men living with their skulls blown open; we see soldiers run with their two feet cut off, they stagger on their splintered stumps into the next shell-hole; […] we see men without mouths, jaws, faces; we find one man who has held the artery of his arm in his teeth for two hours in order not to bleed to death. The sun goes down, night comes, the shells whine, life is at an end" ch 6
Out of 150 men, only 32 return.
