All Quiet on the Western Front (German: Im Westen nichts Neues) is a
novel by Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of World War I. The
book describes the German soldiers' extreme physical and mental stress
during the war, and the detachment from civilian life felt by many of
these soldiers upon returning home from the front.

in addition:
In 1930, an American film of the novel was made, directed by Lewis
Milestone. The screenplay was by Maxwell Anderson, George Abbott, Del
Andrews, C. Gardner Sullivan, with uncredited work by Walter Anthony
and Milestone. It stars Louis Wolheim, Lew Ayres, John Wray, Arnold
Lucy and Ben Alexander.
The film won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1930 for its
producer Carl Laemmle Jr., and an Academy Award for Directing for
Lewis Milestone. It was the first all-talking non-musical film to win
the Best Picture Oscar. It also received two further nominations: Best
Cinematography, for Arthur Edeson, and Best Writing Achievement for
Abbott, Anderson and Andrews.
