Der Weg zurück
In 1929, when Erich Maria Remarque published "Im Westen Nichts Neues", Wheen was quick to read it and compare it with his own experiences, which prompted him to do a translation, rendering the title as "All Quiet on the Western Front". It received excellent reviews and is still considered to be the standard English version of that work. He went on to translate two more novels by Remarque: "Der Weg Zurück" ("The Road Back", 1931) and "Drei Kameraden" ("Three Comrades", 1937).
