A. Paul reports to a training camp after his leave. Right nextdoor is russian prison camp, who survive off the garbage from germans. He looks at them and realizes how similar he is to them, that they are not so different. He begins to respect the russians, and hears one of them play a violin which touches paul. His father and sister visit paul and give him cakes. He doesnt want them and wants to give them to the prisoners, but thinks of how hard it was for his mother to make them. So he gives the prisoners 2 cakes.

It saddens me to see them starving, they live on our garbage. My father and sister came to visit me before I went to the front. they gave me cakes, which I shared with the prisoners.
