I've seen a lot of people discussing the deaths of Kat and Bäumer (less often Müller), but I haven't seen anyone say a word about Haie's death; understandable, though, since Haie is a minor character, but still. And the fact that Paul was holding his hand... I think my soul is about to cry. As much as it did after Kemmerich's death. As much as it did after the whole 6th chapter, when only 32 people out of 150 returned.
Still, All Quiet on the Western Front is the best anti-war book, in my opinion. I can't speak for the movies since I haven't seen any, but the book definitely is (for it was written by a soldier). And I am very glad to be able to read this masterpiece in German (which is not my mother tongue, but I'm learning it intensively; which is also the reason I tag everything about AQOTWF as Im Westen nichts Neues).
