I really like my brother's description of himself, "We were heroes yesterday, but today we are pigs in the slaughterhouse." Under the torrent of the times, it is impossible to tell right from wrong, everyone wants to protect themselves, and the German soldiers on the front line still think that we are in Defend the homeland, guard the time, and are the messengers of justice. In 1941, they dreamed that they would be able to return to Berlin at Christmas, but the war continued until 45 years later, they were no longer heroes, they became defeated countries. The fascist coalition, extremism, that everyone is calling for a fight.
As a high school student watching this work, I can still feel a great shock. Finally, I returned to Berlin, which was also a city that was hit hard, and the battle I described when I read Remarque's "The Age of Love and Death". The life of the people at that time was highly consistent, and the scene shown on TV was exactly what I had depicted in my mind at that time. It felt so amazing and so shocking. In the war movies I watched when I was a child, the German army was always a spotless and high-ranking image, but in this work, I saw live soldiers, who were also fighting in ashes, for their people!
Finally, hope for world peace!?
