Paul and his comrades resent Himmelstoss for his harsh treatment and lack of empathy. They see him as a symbol of the oppressive and dehumanizing nature of war. Paul even describes Himmelstoss as a "gloomy servant of death" and fantasizes about killing him.

This behavior highlights the hypocrisy and cowardice of Himmelstoss, as he had previously been harsh and unsympathetic towards the soldiers under his command. It also emphasizes the harsh realities and psychological toll of war, as even someone like Himmelstoss is not immune to fear and desperation.
