In which country does Erich Maria Remarque's novel "Three Comrades" take place?

"Three Comrades" 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 what may be late-1920s Berlin.

Remarque wrote the novel in exile and it was first published in Dutch translation as "Drei kameraden".

The novel has a similar plot as "Three Comrades", a 1938 film. Hayao Miyazaki's last film, "The Wind Rises", also follows a strikingly similar plot, although set in Japan in the same time period.

"Flowers from the Victors" (1999), directed by Aleksander Surin, also was based on the novel but set in Russia in the 1990s.
