Explore "Road Back" by Erich Maria Remarque on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The nearer the day comes for the trial, the more often I think of Albert. And suddenly, one day, clear and vivid before me I see a wall of mud, a loop-hole, a rifle with a telescopic sight, and behind it a cold, watching, tense face: Bruno Mückenhaupt, the best sniper in the battalion, who never missed.
I jump up-I must go and see what he is doing-what he makes of it all now.
