premise: August Perk (October 25, 1897, Lohne / Lingen, Germany; – May 12, 1945, Braunschweig, Germany) was a German Resistance fighter against the National Socialism. His brief friendship with Erich Maria Remarque influenced Remarque's novel "All Quiet on the Western Front".
hypothesis: The novel "All Quiet on the Western front" influenced Erich Maria Remarque to become a German Resistance fighter against the National Socialism.
reason: Remarque wrote the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" so it did not influence him. Also, Remarque was the novelist not the resistance fighter.
