Description
The years of war forged in them concepts of honor, heroism, mutual help, and survival. Yes, they are heroes—yesterday’s schoolboys who went under arms right from the school benches to defend the interests of the German nation.
In one of the German units on the Western Front, they learn about the revolution in Berlin. Councils of soldiers’ deputies begin to form, but the novel’s main heroes—ordinary soldiers—Ernst Birkholtz, Yuppa, Ferdinand Kozol, Adolf Betke, Valentin Lager, Wesling, Tjaden, Willy, and even Lieutenant Ludwig Bräyer—are alien to politics. They simply want to go back home to their loved ones. But at the same time, it is hard for them to leave the trenches where they spent some of the most terrible years of their lives.
