Just read a message in this guestbook saying the world hasn’t seemed the same since reading Sven’s books, that sums it up for me, too. I hope people read them forever more. What Sven and his comrades went through will always be with me. RIP Sven.

Begging to report: "At the age of 15 discovered most of the collection in my grandmother's closet. Have read them all thrice over. Now at the age of 60, I prize them even more.

Read all Sven's novels many times over the years & got great pleasure from them, thankyou. "And Obersturmbahnfuhrer Ritter can shove that up his shitter" Will always remain with me.

I'm so pleased to find that this page exists. I discovered Wheels of Terror around 1982 c/o my Grandad. His work has always stayed with me and I still have my complete collection of Corgi editions. I was honoured to write an obituary for Sven for The Quietus after his passing and found this page whilst looking for images as I prep an episode of my podcast (Breakfast in the Ruins) that will cover Wheels of Terror. Thanks for being here!

Finally, after nearly 50 years I have discovered the name of Odin's pig. That really bugged me but I can rest easy now. Thanks…

It has been almost 40 years since I read these as a young soldier. Looking forward to reading them again.

love these books and have read them over a few times. My cat is called Hassel . They will never get the recognition they deserve because the are anti hero . Steeped in realism and written by one of the losing team . Which is why i think they stand out .

I started reading the books as a new young soldier after a friend gave me a copy, since then I have read all the novels time and time again finding bits that whilst read not grasped the first time. It is a loss to the literary world that he has passed on, but he will all ways live on in our minds with Porta, Tiny,The old Un and the little legionnaire. RIP Sven.

I had just entered my teens and my dads friend, who worked for Corgi Books gave me a copy of 'BlitzFreeze'. I devoured it! The dark 'gallows' humour that prevailed through out that and the rest of his books kept me entertained for the next few years. The horrors of warfare, the whole Nazi set up and the sheer brutality of survival in some of the theaters of war led me to investigate them personally as I grew up (Casino, Paris, Torgau, Berlin etc), . OK some say it was fiction, but speaking with a now dwindling group of survivors from that era, a number recount the horrors of battle, very similar to what was written. Yes I was sad when a character was killed off, disappointed when one was not. I tend to revisit the books every 8-10 years, just to remind me how brutal war can be. R.I.P and thank you.
