The biggest thing that comes across in his account of the war is how exhilarating he felt combat to be. He writes a straightforward account of what he did and where he was without very much in the way of soul-searching. He was also involved in almost every major battle that occurred in the West to include the Archangel Offensives by the Germans and subsequent German retreats in 1918. He spent the entire war on the Western Front, usually in the British sector. ![]() Jünger was wounded six times during the war.
