Surviving the Great World War 1
On October 3rd, 1983, Friedrich Adler, once a 19-year-old soldier from Berlin, looked back at the war that never truly left him. He survived the trenches, the gas, the crimson sunsets that glowed above fresh graves — but survival came with a cost. At 88 years old, the echoes of artillery still lived in his silence. This is not a story of victory. It is a story of memory, loss, and the quiet strength of a man who carried the Great War in his heart for a lifetime. Some battles end. Others stay with you forever.
