All Quiet on the Western Front Scene 18 Summary

  • Paul and the others visit Kemmerick in the field hospital.
  • Kemmerick's leg has been amputated, so Mueller asks if he can have his boots (they're pretty swank).
  • Paul convinces the others to leave. On the way out, they discuss how Kemmerick won't last the night.
  • Mueller apologies to Paul, saying he wouldn't have asked for the boots if Kemmerick had any use for them now.
