Added DiffLines:

* As with the novel and all prior adaptations, Kat's death in this version hits extremely hard. It's the morning of November 11th, and he and Paul are in high spirits as the war is coming to an end. Both men are excited about going back home to Germany, and Kat invites Paul to come and visit him sometime in the future. Then Kat is shot by a farm boy after they're caught stealing some eggs, and Paul is forced to carry his friend all the way back to their encampment. Unfortunately, Kat doesn't survive the journey, which Paul doesn't even realise until they're back at the field hospital. With all his friends now dead, a defeated Paul is left completely alone and forced to mourn Kat's death without anyone for companionship.

Added DiffLines:

* Paul finding Ludwig's corpse after the bunker collapses. Not only is Paul horrified at the sight of his friend's disfigured corpse, but he also tries to fix up Ludwig's outfit to give his body some sense of decency as he takes his dog tags.


Added DiffLines:

* Tjaden, unable to come to terms with the possibility of becoming crippled due to an injury, [[DrivenToSuicide stabs himself in the throat repeatedly with a fork]] in front of Paul and Kat. Despite the two's best efforts, Tjaden is gone within seconds.
* In a case of AdaptationDeviation, Paul is not killed a month prior to the war coming to an end. Instead, he is present for, and killed in, the final utterly pointless charge that leaves even more soldiers on both sides dead for absolutely no reason other than a single man's pride. Paul is stabbed in the back mere ''seconds'' before the armistice, and he dies leaned against the walls of the trench with a dissonant look of peace on his face, just like in the original novel.
--> "[...] his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come."
** Just as one final twist of the knife, another young soldier comes along to collect fallen soldiers' dogtags... and while he stops to take the scarf that Paul was gifted in memoriam of him, he forgets to take Paul's dogtags, ensuring that his name is lost to history.

-->"He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front. He had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping. Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come."

* The scene where Paul mourns a French soldier is made extremely moving by the excellent direction and powerful acting, fully showcasing just how disturbing it is to take someone's life.
