    Kemmerich, Paul’s classmate, is visited by his fellow soldiers at the hospital after he wounded his thigh. He states to Paul that “they have amputated my leg”, and as Paul tries to comfort him, Kemmerich explains how he “wanted to become a head-forester once” (Remarque 27-28). After being incited through nationalistic pressures by his teacher, Kemmerich enlists in the army only to lose a part of himself. Kemmerich’s lose and the cold pointlessness of his eventual death disillusions the idea that there is honor in war. Remarque also shows opposition to the war later on in the book when he illustrates a scene of soldiers starting to question the actions of the higher authorities and pondering the reasons for war.

    The death of Kemmerich is pivotal as it illustrated that the result of falling in combat was not a glorious moment where the soldier feels elated for doing his part to defend his country but instead has to suffer unimaginable pain for hours or days until his body finally gives up. Remarque even dedicates a section of the novel to describing patients in a hospital and the abysmal conditions they live in and the amount of suffering they are exposed to in their final hours. Paul even goes as far as to say that a “hospital alone shows what war is”, and this clearly maintains the point that war is not a place where a soldier can find purpose and patriotic fulfillment but instead he can find a slow and sufferable death (263). Paul’s death was interestingly enough quick and painless as portrayed by the calmness in his face but that calmness was not because he felt he did his duty but instead because he was finally able to find peace from the living hell the war put him

He is no longer able to relate to his family, since it is very difficult to think and have emotions and at the same time with much death all around him in the war. There is much talk of how he and his friends do not think about deep things, but just think about eating and silly things. His father and people over all his people want me to tell them stories of war and hate Paul because their experiences are horrible. Paul has just returned to the fight and basically everyone in the book is wounded and dies.
