My favorite is the lunch after the war. The chef cooked a meal for 150 people, but after this encounter, there were only less than 80 people left.

What about beer, also for 150 people? Yes. Soldier Ecstasy: Oh, the festival is here!
Life is as tenacious and brilliant as the butterfly on the battlefield, or the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The plot is handled lightly.

Life is precious and beautiful, but there are always things that put it out of the way. This is perhaps yet another sublime theme for Paul's return to the battlefield. When the coach hid in the crater and refused to come out, the officer said to him: Go forward, this is an order! The coach suddenly changed his mind and rushed forward like a different person. In an instant, he almost became the villain.
There are always so many positive images to inspire.
