This is a German Classic From A Forgotten Author. Schlump is seventeen, a romantic, a chancer & a dreamer. It`s 1915 so naturally he volunteers for war. In France he is assigned an administrative position in a small town & has a marvellous time. But when he gets to the trenches, where death & mindless destruction are the everyday, he starts to understand something about war. Funny, brutal & charming, here`s the First World War from the perspective of the inimitable Schlump.
