They ruined the ending. It's lot more powerful of a message if he dies on yet another forgettable day of casual carnage on the Western Front. Instead they turned him into the last death of a dramatic assault at the last hour of the war, someone who is literally going to have a Wikipedia page about him most likely.

What would have really made it gut wrenching is:
Opening scene:

A battle is about to happen with soldiers queued ready to go over the top. A soldier puts on his coat with the name visible. Everyone goes over the top and you see him get killed but in a way you don't really see his face. The uniform "recycling" scene happens until Paul gets the uniform and sees its the soldier who initially died. He asks about it, the officer says the same thing about the sizing issue. 

Movie goes on without telling you the year or how much time has passed. 

Closing Scene:
A battle is about to happen with soldiers queued ready to go over the top. Paul puts on his coat with the name visible. Everyone goes over the top and you see him get killed but in the exact same way as the opening scene. The uniform "recycling" scene happens until a new soldier receives the uniform and looks and sees the name Paul. 

End movie.
