All Quiet on the Western Front Post 9

After learning about Katzcinsky's amazing talent last chapter i really didnt know what to expect in the following chapter. But low and behold the boys get lucky again for their most hated officer is coming to fight on the front with them, General Himmelstoss. The minute that name leaves the tongue of Tjaden, another good friend of Paul's, the boys set up a plan to get him back in the worst way possible. Lucky for them though Himmelstoss doesnt really know that the guys are stationed at the camp where he is going to. So one night on his way back from the pub, Himmelstoss takes his usual shortcut down an alley which leads him back to his base. But the boys are ready with clubs, a bed sheet and a pillow waiting behind a dumpster. So Muller runs behind the drunk Himmelstoss and throws the bed sheet over him. And at that the boys jump on him punching, kicking, biting, doing whatever they can to get all their anger out. They also had brought a pillow with them to muffle Himmelstoss' screams just so they could get the best out of their plan. The chapter ends with the boys running back to camp laughing their butts off at their revenge. Now this really got me thinking about how this might come back to get the guys later on in the book. I think in some way shape or form Himmelstoss will find out who it was that attacked him that night and will make them pay severly.
