Himmelstoss and Kantorek, like the Kaiser, embody the themes of authority and the pressures of militarism in "All Quiet on the Western Front." Himmelstoss represents the rigid, often cruel discipline of military training, while Kantorek symbolizes the misguided patriotism that compels young men to fight. Both figures, alongside the Kaiser, contribute to the war's romanticized ideals, pushing soldiers into a brutal reality that starkly contrasts with their initial beliefs. Ultimately, they illustrate the disconnect between those in power and the harsh experiences of the soldiers on the front lines.

Pavel Kantorek was born in 1930.
Corporal Himmelstoss was also called "the terror of Klosteber" because of being "the strictest disciplinarian in the camp (...)." (9) Despite all the terror he inspired, he used to be a postman before attending to the war. Himmelstoss was in charge of the number ninth platoon. Himmelstoss was cruel; therefore, he enjoyed forcing them to risk themselves.
what does paul say about men like kantorek
GO HOme
He just does
Paul is bitter towards Kantorek because he sees him as one of the authority figures who pressured him and his classmates into joining the war, which led to their suffering and deaths. Paul feels betrayed and resentful towards Kantorek for glorifying the war and instigating a false sense of duty among young men.
Tjaden
He doesn't die.
he urges them to go to war.
Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs.... No, it's not Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs. It's not a common song...
Since Tjaden wet his bed everyday, Himmelstoess made him sleep on a bunk bed with another bed wetter. So who ever slept on the bottom would wake up to pee on their face. So Tjaden hated Himmelstoess for making him go through it.
