Friedr and Wim 1916 - 1927 by Teresa van der Kraan Book Summary

For those long years on the Western Front, they had known only war. They carried it with them even now, as they marched home with holes in their boots, broken, defeated. The only thing keeping Friedrich upright, placing one foot in front of the other, was his best friend's presence by his side. While Wilhelm still cared for him, still needed him, he could never forget the promise they had made: together, or not at all.
Friedrich had never wanted to be a soldier. He had questioned it every time he raised his Mauser on the front line. Now, he could not comprehend a world without it. All that he saw was trivial, indifferent, empty. Wilhelm had longed to wear the uniform, to share the promised glory, to build a greater Germany. He returned to a broken nation, a nation without its soul. He would do anything to rebuild it.
The echoes of the Great War lingered in Germany long after the guns had fallen silent. Spanning the years 1916-1927, 'Friedr and Wim' explores two young men's experience of war on the Western Front, and the social, economic and, above all, personal impacts upon German and individual consciousness that followed. Throughout, the power of friendship remains an anchor in the storm.
