Im Westen Nichts Neues

“This book is to be 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. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war.” 

― Erich Maria Remarque, the  Epigraph to All Quiet on the Western Front 1929
