The Loss in War

War impacts people in many different, but in the front lines, everyone gets hit equally hard. This picture describes the dehumanization of war in a explicit way. There is a man getting bombed while another man is already dead. It proves the way of how war scares everyone as this could easily be depicting the new recruit as he ran out of the shelter and got instantly killed. The brutality in the war and how it is depicted in the picture prove the desensitization of the war. "If your own father came over with them you would not hesitate to fling a bomb into him." Remarque uses this quote to describe the warfront and you can clearly see this in the picture as a entire soldier was hit by a bomb. Relatively, you would think that a sole soldier is not worth a bomb as you would much rather like to throw one into the trenches or a crowded area. This further proves how desperate the war become and how brutal it was. Soldiers became so lost that they would do anything to survive, even if it didn't make complete sense logically. This book proves this many times and helps depict the horrors of the war.
