"In his book, Das Wäldchen 125, a diary of six weeks of trench warfare during July-August 1918 in an area known as Rossignol Wood or Corpse 125 of the western front, Jünger proclaimed that the war brought forth a new kind of human being, one in which machine had become fused together in an amalgam of bloody flesh and dangerous explosivity."
