“War is hell” is a blunt but true way to describe all wars. This statement portrays

Paul Baumer’s true feelings pertaining to the gruesome experiences he encountered

through the duration of the war, when he was alive. For Paul Baumer a German soldier

in World War II, war was more than hell. It changed, and ultimately ended his life at a

young age. In All Quiet on the Western Front Paul Expresses this idea by stating, “I am

young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and

fatuous superficially cast over an abyss of sorrow...” Paul went through hell for years.
