Without question, the East German National People's Army was a
profoundly masculine institution that emphasized traditional ideals
of stoicism, sacrifice, and physical courage. Nonetheless, as this
innovative study demonstrates, depictions of the military in the
film and literature of the GDR were far more nuanced and
ambivalent. Departing from past studies that have found in such
portrayals an unchanging, idealized masculinity, Comrades in Arms
shows how cultural works both before and after reunification place
violence, physical vulnerability, and military theatricality, as
well as conscripts' powerful emotions and desires, at the center of
soldiers' lives and the military institution itself.
