In All Quiet on the Western Front what is symbolic about Leer's name?
Leer's name symbolizes a sense of cynicism and world-weariness. In German, "leer" means empty or hollow, reflecting the emotional toll and loss of humanity that the characters experience in the war. Leer's name highlights the psychological impact of the war on the soldiers, as they become disillusioned and detached from their former selves.
Who was the author of 'All Quiet on the Western Front'?
All Quiet on the Western Front is a novel by Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of World War I, about the horrors of that war and also the deep detachment from German civilian life felt by many men returning from the front. The book was first published in German as Im Westen nichts Neues in January 1929. It sold 2.5 million copies in twenty-five languages in its first eighteen months in print. In 1930 the book was turned into an Oscar-winning movie of the same name, directed by Lewis Milestone. Although the typically used English translation (A. W. Wheen, 1929) gives the title as "All Quiet on the Western Front," the literal translation is in fact "Nothing New on the Western Front": this title adds to the terrible irony of the actual situation but was dropped in favour of "All Quiet". Separately, the phrase "all quiet on the western front" later became popular slang for a lack of action (in reference to the Phony War in World War II's Western Front).

Why does the Western Front not run through Switzerland?
The Western Front was the name of the front line between the two waring sides in the First World War. Switzerland was neutral during the First World War, neither of the two waring sides were allowed to send troops into Switzerland. So there was no fighting and no front line in Switzerland.
