So dissapointing. Good visuals and decent acting, but bad history, no character development and no story, which (given the source material) should've been the easy part. Besides a few character names and the title, this has nothing to do with the classic war novel. Such a shame.

Just a reminder that the guns did not go silent all across Europe 100 years ago today - far from it! They continued for several more years as new states fought for independence, and old states fought to hold onto disputed territory. #Armistice100 #RemembranceDay #ArmisticeDay

A German officer inspects a recently captured Russian trench, east of Mława in Poland, 1915. Again, the vastness of the Eastern Front is well depicted in this photo.

A German soldier greets two Jewish residents of Neu-Sandez/Nowy Sącz in Galicia, Summer 1915. Knowing what would happen less than three decades later makes this photo even more poignant.

Three more paintings by German painter Martin Frost (1875-1928). Frost strived for a realistic depiction of the war experienced by the soldiers at the front. In 1917 he was awarded the Iron Cross II class.

The debris of war: 1,000,000 empty catridge cases, 25,000 shell fuses and 12,000 kg of shrapnel balls. All collected from the battlefield by the Austro-Hungarian 1st Army and packed into train cars to be sent to the rear for recycling.
