I remember passing Sven Hassel books around in the school playground in the '70s, until we'd all earned enough money to buy our own copies. I think I was about 7 when I first started reading them. Great stuff. I still have all of mine. Sadly, my own kids aren't interested. Just thought I'd try a wikipedia search, then came across this site. Can't believe all the rubbish written by people crying fraud etc. These are stories, with some truth behind them, and other things based on how the characters would act in other circumstances. None of the covers said "Every word of this is true". Relax and enjoy them for the fun that they are. Absolutely timeless, and the only WWII novels I ever read many many times each, as opposed to the Leo Kessler type ones I only read once – they're ok, but not a patch on Sven Hassel. Nice to see updates to this site even in 2022. Take care.
