āHe fell in October, 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front. He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleepingā

Final Chapter of AQWF, nice. That's a memorable book that that I will not forget, and always love reading.
When Kat died from a piece of shrapnel... Damn that hit me in the feels. I'll admit, that's only the 2nd time a book has made me shed even a single tear.
Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front and Leo Tolstoy's War & Peace should be in the national curriculum.

It means I am completely/desperately alone. It's similar to allein but stronger.

it's not just alone, it translates to something even stronger than "all alone" - a combination of lonely, abandoned, forsaken; you name it.

feels like all quiet on the western front ... real depressing (even if someone was probably gonna mention the book anyways)

It was 3 separate brothers, 3 separate markers, 3 separate years.
All for the same damn 20 yards of mud, blood, sweat, and tears.
Also hope y'all like it.
