August Perk (October 25, 1897, Lohne / Lingen, Germany; – May 12, 1945, Braunschweig, Germany) was a German Resistance fighter against the National Socialism.

Three Comrades (German: "Drei Kameraden" ) is a novel first published in 1936 by the German author Erich Maria Remarque.
 It is written in first person by the main character Robert Lohkamp, whose somewhat disillusioned outlook on life is due to his horrifying experiences in the trenches of the First World War's French-German front.
 He shares these experiences with Otto Köster and Gottfried Lenz, his two comrades with whom he runs an auto-repair shop in late 1920s Berlin (probably).
 Remarque wrote the novel in exile and it was first published in Dutch translation as "Drie kameraden", with English translation following soon in "Good Housekeeping" from January to March 1937 and in the book form in the same year.
 First German language edition was published in 1938 by exile publisher "Querido" in Amsterdam, but the novel was published in Germany only in 1951.

The Night in Lisbon (German: "Die Nacht von Lissabon" ) is a novel by Erich Maria Remarque published in 1962.
 It revolves around the plight of two German refugees in the opening months of World War II.
 One of the refugees relates their story during the course of a single night in Lisbon in 1942.
 The story he recounts is mainly a romantic one, and also contains a lot of action with arrests, escapes and near-misses.
 The novel is realistic, Remarque was himself a German refugee (although the novel is fictional and only loosely based on the experience of Remarque 's friend, novelist Hans Habe), and provides insight into refugee life in Europe during the early days of the war.
 The book completed what was known as Remarque’s "emigre trilogy" along with "Flotsam" and "Arch of Triumph".
 It was Remarque's last completed work.
