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.
