october or november? (spoiler)


at the end of the movie when Paul dies it says 'OCTOBER 11 ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT'

we all know that the war ended on NOVEMBER 11, is October 11th the day Paul died, or is it a mistake?

reply

I think in the book it says that he dies in October.

I think when it says "All quiet on the Western Front" it means it kind of like a daily log entry or report fron the front line trenches, so the report was just basically saying that there was no activity that day, not that the war was over.
