All quiet on the western front: haie westhus

Westhus is a 19-year-old peat digger with hands so huge that in one he can conceal a loaf of bread. He operates as Katczinsky\'s executive on foraging expeditions, and, on the whole, prefers army life to cutting sod. The army gives him food and a place to sleep, and in peacetime would offer what he considers nice, clean work. He is the one member of Paul\'s group who plans to reenlist after the war but dies of a back wound after being rescued by Himmelstoss.
