"Full Circle" noted here as a Remarque play, links to a site about the Doors album by the same name. It is also linked to a Danielle Steele book.
- I made the link point to Full Circle (play). Now all we need is for someone to write the article. --Jose Ramos 13:18, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

- Correct link is in fact Full Circle (Remarque play), which I've just changed it to. --User:Olaf Davis 16:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remark/Kramer
Some sources insist he was born Kramer and not Remark, such as http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/remarque.htm . There are significantly more websites calling him Remark. One of them also calls him Remark (http://www.firstworldwar.com/poetsandprose/remarque.htm ) but calls his father Peter Maria Kramer (who is never called Peter Maria Remark by other sites, but Peter Franz Remark). Can anyone shed light on this?
Reply: His last name was orginally Remark. When he fell into discredit in Nazi Germany, the story was made up that he had a Jewish background; Kramer is known as a Jewish name. This story never really died out (I think this had also to do with te fact that Remarque didn't like to talk of his past, so there was room for speculation, but I'm not sure of that). The original family name was Remarque btw (his great-grandfathers last name was Remarque). So he kind of changed it back.
[edit] Pabst film
So which novel of his was the G.W. Pabst film Der Letzte Akt based on?
[edit] Remarque the pacifist.
Thoughts about how you feel Remarque's hit novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, appealed to you.
[edit] Bio Faulty
Read the last few lines for consistancy.
Reply:----
It made me really see how hygine has no limits and how rather repulsive it would be to be involved in war. It should give people another point of view of why war shouldn't be the answer towards any disagreement between countries.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]).
Yeah, I'm not sure if that is wandalism, an edit war, or simply poorly worded sentences. I'd revert, but i don't know enough about him. 12.218.145.112 04:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wound/wartime details
"Wounded five times, Remarque, like his protagonist, Paul Bäumer, swallowed poison gas and sustained injury to his lungs" -http://encarta.msn.com/sidebar_701509551/All_Quiet_on_the_Western_Front.html
I've read briefly about Remarque's five wounds in WWI in the A.W.WHEEN translation of All Quiet on the Western Front as well; in the biography.

[edit] Remarque and Hitler
On the following site there's an interesting piece that would be a welcome addition to this page. It tells of how Remarque's sister was executed by the nazi's because he himself was in de USA. It also details how the both of them were stationed only a few miles apart at most near Ypres and fought in the same battles. http://www.greatwar.nl/remarque/remarque-eng.html
[edit] Technical Accuracy
Can it really be said that Erich Maria Remarque was his psuedonymn, as he legally changed his name, and was using it throughout all aspects of his life, and not just in his literary works?
