These chapters vividly capture the horror of the war and the appalling nature of the fighting. The sheer number of soldiers wounded and the way they were described was so graphic that it effectively managed to put us in the soldiers shoes. This is reinforced by the soldiers' feelings and the tense atmosphere. They no longer care about their past lives, now distant memories. All they focus on is survival

We see what the life of a soldier is like when he is relieved. It is not luxurious but doesn't seem to be too harsh. We are introduced to Paul and his gang, who were deceived into joining the war. I found the perspective of the novel to be very realistic and especially poignant in its description of war experiences, such as the death of Kemmerich. I also enjoyed the slight humor present when Himmelstoss was beaten up
