I doubt there are many of us these days who are under any illusion as to the nature of fighting in the trenches in the First World War, but being taken along on the journey of a group of young men, barely out of school, watching the damage done to them not just physically, but also emotionally, is devastating. The fact that this story is told from the viewpoint of a German soldier is irrelevant. It is simply the facts of trench warfare.
