Just looked up March Battalion. Chapter three. Heide explains his hell-like childhood but not how he came to be in the disciplinary regiment. Reply: As far as I understand, Heide did what necessary to join the penal regiment in order to avenge his mother. Unfortunately Sven is not around anymore to ask.

OMG Heide really has great charm. I am particularly happy to see him lose in his struggles with others This shouldn´t be considered a psychopath, right friends? It´s really exciting to see him insulted

…. Cărțile lui m-au făcut să fiu antiimperialism (dacă pot numi așa sentimentul) și împotriva războaielor. Deși tot ironic este… că am luptat în două războaie plus că am participat activ la revoluția română… (….His books made me anti-imperialist (if I can call the sentiment that) and against wars. Although it is still ironic… that I fought in two wars plus that I actively participated in the Romanian revolution…)

I think there is a 15th novel by Sven Hassel. Whose title is something like "The glorious defeat." I heard there is a Norwegian version. I don't know if there is an English version. In Spanish it surely does not exist. I would love to be able to read that latest novel by "master" Sven. Greetings to all from Spain. ANSWER: Thank you for your inquiry. You are right, The Glorious Defeat contains what Sven wrote of his unfinished 15th novel before he past away. So far, it has only been published in Norwegian, Danish and Finnish.

I first met this set in the library, but sadly, after I bought the only 7 books available in my country I found out that there are 15 books in total, and wanted to cry, so dear friends, where can I get the remaining 8 books if the unlucky reader happens to be in China, and is desperate for answers (by the way, even finding the official website was a struggle) Answer: Hi, Thank you for your message. So far only 7 Sven Hassel titles have been translated into Chinese. The remaining 7 (totally 14) are available in English and many other languages.

Hello everybody, this site brings me back 34 years ago when i discovered Sven Hassel's books i read all of them at least 2 times , and i still love to because of the mixture of feelings and emotions which can make you feel worried, disgusted , sad or even happy ! after almost 80 years from the end of WW2 our evoluted society did not learn from the mistakes of the past , and some of the world leaders sadly don't care about the future of humanity ! Mr. Sven Hassel was so right almost like a prophet !

I had read all Sven Hassel's books. I only missed three of them, including his unfinished book, depicting the Battle of Berlin. A great salute to all the readers and admirors of Sven Hassel, since Lima, Peru's capital city.

Both my father and maternal grandfather were WW2 veterans. As a boy, I was always fascinated by the war and curious about their reluctance to talk about it. They both took their stories to the grave when I was young. I read Legion of the damned when I was in high school and was struck by the "no holds barred" portrayal of the realities of war described therein. I then went on to do my national service and got my own taste of war. A very different type of war, but filled with the same brutality and camaraderie. The nature of war, and the soldiers who have to fight in them, remains the same it seems.

Today I would like to reflect on the passing of one of a great writer whose books I still read, from the very first moment. Many thanks for the reading moments

Hi guys, Wonder if you can help! As a pensioner I have just finished reading the brilliant Legion of the Damned which I first read as a teenager along which many of his other books. The book covers a number years and pretty much ends with deaths of the old un, Pluto and porta.. the other novels have the above interacting with the likes of Tiny, Barcelona and the Legionnaire so I don’t understand why. they are omitted from the book or I’m I missing something here ? Cheers ANSWER: Hi Andy, Thank you for your message. The Legion of the Damned, which is turning 70 years these days, was written by Sven mainly in prison camps just after the war. He had at that time no intention to write more books as he did not know if it would even be published. Therefore it is a kind of resumé of his war experience. Afterwards in 1957 Wheels of terror was published and he started the whole series and developed other characters, who did not appear in this, his first novel. Andy

I am a police officer, I have fought in the mountains and plains for years. Friendship is very important in war. You can never forget your front-line comrades. Many of my friends died and committed suicide. I cannot remember their faces anymore, but I cannot forget any of them.

I didn’t like school books as a kid and was always interested in ww2, that’s when my dad suggested a book he had ‘March Battalion’. I read it and loved it, then spent every holiday after looking in second hand book stores until I completed the set. I always said to myself that I wanted to visit as many places in the book as possible, I had already been to Normandy and Berlin and my last trip was to Monte Cassino, obviously it got rebuilt but what an amazing place to visit.

I remember my Dad reading Sven Hassel books in the late 70's and early 80's and at the time he wouldnt let me read them. But the cover of the books fascinated me I forgot about Sven until I picked up Wheels of Terror in a second hand bookstore. It was brilliant, beautifully violent and descriptive. I've since purchased all the books and am reading my way through them. So far Monte Cassino is my favourite but they are all brilliant.
