What truly is sad about suicide is never knowing why a person does it because it is impossible to ask them.

Reiner was not living at the time that World War I began and ended. Reiner’s mother witnessed those hard times and saw how battle affected Germany as a whole. Germany had to surrender in order for the killings to cease, so that destroyed Germany’s pride, as well as a loss of a bunch of merchandise and land to the Allies.
