Corporal Himmelstoss was also called "the terror of Klosteber" because of being "the strictest disciplinarian in the camp (...)." (9) Despite all the terror he inspired, he used to be a postman before attending to the war. Himmelstoss was in charge of the number ninth platoon. Himmelstoss was cruel; therefore, he enjoyed forcing them to risk themselves.

How does a uniform impact the character of a man like himmelstoss?

Himmelstoss, a character in Erich Maria Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front," embodies the transformation that a uniform can instigate in an individual. The uniform elevates him from a mere postman to a figure of authority, allowing him to exert power over his peers. This newfound authority often reveals his sadistic tendencies, as he abuses his position to intimidate and belittle the soldiers under his command. Ultimately, the uniform becomes a symbol of the dehumanizing effects of war, shaping Himmelstoss into a person who thrives on control and dominance, rather than camaraderie.
