There were rumors of an offensive. We had to go up to the front two days earlier than usual. While we were going there, we passed through a shelled school-house. In which you could find brand new coffins. Some were saying that they were made for us, but I´d rather thought that they were made for our attackers.

"That's a good preparation for the offensive," said Müller astonished.
"They're for us," growled Detering.
"Don't talk rot," I said to him angrily.
"You be thankful if you get so much as a coffin," grinned Tjaden, "they'll slip you a waterproof sheet for your old Aunt Sally of a carcase."

When we arrived to the front all we had to do was wait for the attacks, though it wasn’t a pleasing task: big and nasty rats were trying to steal our food supplies, because the trenches were no longer in good condition. And since we didn’t know when we were going back, we had to protect what was left of food that the rats couldn’t take and when they came back, we attacked then till the smell of blood was stronger than the smell of bread. They didn’t come back for a while.

Days passed and yet the offensive didn’t make a move attack, we had to wait with the fear or falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of bullets near our heads. I had become tired, I was starting to believe that we were going to have to go through a similar situation as the Somme, in which we had to wait seven days and seven nights for our attackers to do something. We were ready with our gas masks, bombs and spades. But nothing happened.

We were resting when I felt the earth shake, hidden in our respective places, we waited for the army to come to us, but there was no one on sight. Some new recruits started to panic, they were unexperienced and scared. We were left with very little supplies of food. And even though we were told that food was being brought to us, it never arrived. I had to try to get food, but it was impossible, not even new recruits could come to us for support.  We were starving and alone.

After hours of bloodshed they started to retreat when we reached the enemy line. With the butt of my rifle I had to smash to pulp the face of one of the unwounded machine-gunners. And when the battle ceased, we went back to our front line. Though what we did not expect were the planes that attacked us and killed eleven of our men.

Some men started to become mad, there was one guy who was going crazy to go out, I had to stop him with Paul because we couldn’t let him go out of shelter and get himself killed by the bombs that were being thrown at us.
To get through all of this, I suggested a game of skats, but at the end we were still scared and impatient. At night, the bombardment had stopped, and that’s when we knew that it was our time to fight.

After that, we had to search for the wounded, and then, try to find the disappeared ones, which we could hear thanks to their cries of help, though we could not save because it was too late.

When we were finally save, the Company Commander came for us, I heard the call for my company and reunited with Paul and Albert. When it was time to go back, there were just 32 of us left
