Paul and his group discuss what life will be like in peace-time. None of them seem to be certain what careers they would be happy with. It's as if a life outside of war is unimaginible to them. Also, there is an air of uncertaity that any of them would live long enough to expirience an "after the war" life.

While at the front, the company starts to run low on food, they attempt to ration it but giant, hungry rats are at every corner. To try to kill the vermin, Paul and his buddies pile their tossed bread pieces and jump on the rats when they approach. Later, the men themselves begin to grow desperate for nourishment and regret giving even the unclean bread to the rats. This scene depicts the filth and horrible conditions of the trenches.
