I've always enjoyed reading Sven's books and I continue to read them again and again when I get fed up with newer authors.

Just returned to read the series again after 40 years. I am close to finishing Legion of The Damned and am being drawn in again.

Like many I read svens books when I was very young, I still read them now many years later. Even today they still have relevance and put life in perspective. Thanks Sven.

I remember buying my first book form a car boot sale when I was about 14 in 1988, I cannot remember the name of the book but it must have made an impact because I kept on returning to the car boot sale every week to try to find more. I have returned to Sven again as I am older, and I find that the characters are people I want to revisit in our times. Even though the background is a horror war, which is fading from human memory, the characters will always keep it from being just mere history, we the reader are wrapped up in their lives. Maybe nowadays with our modern media, we forget that everyone who dies is a character, who should have their own book.

ello,i am a really big fan of sven hassel.Just finished ss general and its my 5th svens hassel book in this month.I love him,but i am furious there is general called Paul Augsberg in \"Ss general\" book.When i search him,there is no person called it.Is these names fiction ?Why i cant find him ? And also is barcelona blooms name is his real name ? And.....Sorry too many questions .I want to buy svens book about berlin defence.Is it possible ? I know he did not finish the book,but it will definetly worth it.Even i will die wondering the end of the book.Thanks. Answer: Sven´s books are novels not historical book, but based on his experience in WWII, and therefore part is fiction. The only 50 pages of the last novel is available so far only in Danish, Finnish and Norwegian.

Me sorprendió gratamente la fácil lectura y la forma de explicar los hechos. Da sensación de realidad y a la vez impresiona por la rudeza de los hechos.

Read the books back in the 80's, looking forward to the audio versions now available... Great books, great stories I read that the last book was started but never got past 50 pages, would be great if it could somehow be completed..?

Las catorce novelas de Sven Hassel, son para mi las mejores novelas de guerra que jamas he leído, y he leído muchas. Son fuerte, duras, brutales, despiadadas, casi de verdad. Las he leído todas varias veces, y cada vez me gustan más. Solo decir que la receta del puré de patatas con tropezones de tocino de Porta es genial, así como su gato y sobrero. Me gustaría saber que paso con todos los personajes después de la guerra, si alguno sobrevivió. El Viejo, Barcelona, Heidi, El Legionario, el propio Sven, Porta, Hermanito, el Coronel Hinka, etc. Estoy deseando que se publique en España y en español la novela número 15. Seguro que la voy a disfrutar mucho. Saludos a todos los amantes de las novelas de Sven desde España. He escrito este párrafo y comentario en español, en primer lugar porque es mi idioma materno, yo pienso y siento en español, y porque Sven Hassel vivió muchos años en España y murió en España. Y porque creo que él amaba a España. I have written this paragraph and comment in Spanish, firstly because it is my mother tongue, I think and feel in Spanish, and because Sven Hassel lived many years in Spain and died in Spain, and I think he loved Spain.

A few months ago I found and old beaten copy of "Legion of the Damned" that my uncle gave me when i was kid. It sat in my shelf for many years until recently when I started reading as means to help my depression. When I started reading this book I was so fascinated with the characters, the stories. So much so, that with money from my first ever salary I went and bought the entire set of books brand new! Even though you're no longer among us, I want to thank you Sven for writing these books, and for these amazing stories and great characters!

Read my first SH book, Legion of the Damned, while still in high school. It was circulating around communist Romania in photocopied issues... Then, after Nov 1989, a printing house in Bucharest got the rights to translate and print all Sven Hassel novels. I have bought them, read them and enjoyed them greatly. Still re-read them, every once in a while... Humanity should not forget the tragedy that WWII brought on us, all... Even more so, as it seems we are heading towards another long period of international conflict, brutal terrorism and political unrest.
