Im Westen Nichts Neues (Nothing New in the West)

Remarque's portrayal of the front lines is so visceral—did that make the horrors feel more real or overwhelming?

The focus on personal trauma and disillusionment made the story powerful, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to humanize the soldiers.

The conclusion leaves a lot open to interpretation. I’d love to hear different perspectives on what the ending signifies.
