The archive contains two copies of Part II of the play, the first clean and the second with dialogue annotations in holograph ink on all but two pages.

The only play written by Remarque. It had a highly successful German premiere at the Berlin Drama Festival on September 9, 1956. In 1956 and 1957, the New York Times reported that an English adaptation was expected to premiere on Broadway in 1957, with William Wyler, Otto Preminger, Harold Clurman, and Robert Whitehead, variously attached to the project, but never went into production.
