A. Paul returns to the front, and finds all his friends alive and in good health. He shares his potato cakes with them. They soon learn that the Kaiser is coming to see the army. They soon realize he is not a great man, and that the war is all about what the leaders want. Paul goes into no mans land, for reconnaissance. A bombardment commences and an attack follows, so paul must play dead to live. An enemy goes in the hole, and Paul stabs him, and watches him die all night.
