Short description

At the start of World War I, Paul Baumer is a young German patriot, eager to fight. Indoctrinated with propaganda at school, he and his friends eagerly sign up for the army soon after graduation. But when the horrors of war soon become too much to bear, and as his friends die or become gravely wounded, Paul questions the sanity of fighting over a few hundreds yards of war-torn countryside.

What's left behind the scenes

  • A film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque.
  • Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941) was played by Denis Graham. In the scene awarding distinguished soldiers, he fastens the medals to their uniforms using only his right hand. This is historically accurate, as his left hand was disabled from birth.
