the nazi party and all quiet on the western front

If you were told "it is no wonder that Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party banned 'All Quiet On The Western Front" and asked to discuss the themes and what techniques are used to develop them...how would YOU set up the essay? I am totally stuck!

Look at the role of the teacher in the early portions of the book.  he is the one who marches the boys down to the recruitment station the day of their graduation.  As a teacher he is the voice of authority in sending the students into the battlefields.  For students, concentrate on the fat kid who joins only because he will be compl,etely ostracized if he doesn't.  Naturally, he will be the first of the group to die.  Good luck.

On the contrary, I believe the teacher is the voice of death, and the fat kid is just some fat kid.
