importance makes him significant to the book as a whole. One of the themes of All Quiet on the Western Front is that war brings out a savagery and hunger for power that lie latent in many people, even if they are normally respectable, nonviolent citizens. Himmelstoss is just such a figure: an unthreatening postman before the war, he evolves into the "terror of Klosterberg," the most feared disciplinarian in the training camps. Himmelstoss is extremely cruel to his recruits, forcing them to obey ridiculous and dangerous orders simply because he enjoys bullying them. Himmelstoss forces his men to stand outside with no gloves on during a hard frost, risking frostbite that could lead to the amputation of a finger or the loss of a hand. His idea of a cure for Tjaden's bed-wetting--making him share a bunk with Kindervater, another bed wetter--is vicious, especially since the bed-wetting results from a medical condition and is not under Tjaden's control

By the end of the 19th century, the entire Estonian and German-language educational system, from primary schools to the University of Tartu, functioned in Russian. In the course of this undertaking, numerous Estonian teachers who were also key figures in the national awakening process, were sacked because of their insufficient knowledge of Russian. This radical change constituted a heavy blow to the level of education amongst Estonians: 98% of recruits conscripted from Estonia in 1886 could read, whereas in 1901 the figure had dropped to 80%. Russian also became the language of administration in government and local government institutions and courts -- almost all German and Estonian employees were replaced with Russians without knowledge of any other language. Getting a job in a government office became very difficult for non-Russians. Many educated Estonians were compelled to leave their country and seek work in

now think they owe little to government-as voters, volunteers, contributors, and, most regrettably, even as law abiding citizens. As the poet W. H. Auden put it, "I and the world know/what every schoolboy learns.fThose to whom evil is done/do evil in return." Perhaps it is not so surprising then that in 2007, despite constant patrols by the National Guard, state police officers, and the graduates of two new classes of city police recruits, New Orleans' homicide rate jumped 30 percent, breaking all records and making it the bloodiest city in the country. More generally, it can be said that the rule for reciprocation assures that, whether the fruit of our actions is sweet or bitter, we reap what we sow. _ _ Chapter 2 RECIPROCATION How the Rule Works Make no mistake, human societies derive a truly significant competitive advan- tage from the reciprocity rule and, consequently, they make sure their members
by the German armies." It was also in preparation for this Great German onslaught that another new cipher made its appearance. This was the ADFGVX system, the most famous field cipher in the whole history of cryptology. It was so named because only those six letters occurred in its cryptograms, though just five were used (no v) when the system sprang into use on March 5, 1918. The war in the West had by then become a stalemate of exhaustion. The young recruits who the Kaiser had promised in the glorious summer of 1914 would be "home before the leaves fall" had become veterans hardened by almost four years of battle—those few who survived. The flower of England's youth had perished; in France, a generation had climbed out of the trenches and vanished forever. During the winter, Germany had come to realize that she would have to win in the spring if she were to win at all. The U-boat had failed to
