Conocí a Sven Hassel por pura casualidad al entrar en una librería de segunda mano, me encantó el libro que compre de el "general SS" desafortunadamente era el único libro de Sven en esa librería, ojalá en un futuro pueda tener toda la colección. Contestación: Muchas gracias…puedes conseguir los 14 libros en libro eléctronico e impreso en www.amazon.es / Sven Hassel Serie Bélica Edición Española.

Sven Hassel is my favourite author of all time! I started reading my dads books when I was around 7 years old in around 1985 and I still regularly read them all back again to this day. My favourite book is Blitzfreeze.

I'm with Gonzalez, and probably many others…is there an English translation of The Glorius Defeat that can be read online anywhere? I wonder how Old Un and Porta would have made out, if Sven would have been able to complete that entire novel? ANSWER: No, unfortunately The Glorious Deeat has still not been traslated into English

After having read all Sven's books multiple times – and listened to them all on audiobook two or three times each, I have to say the The Bloody Road to Death is my favorite. What do others have to say? What is your favorite? Granted, I enjoyed them all about equally. Legion of the Damned is special in its own way, as it was the first I read, and my introduction to Sven's world. And it's serious tone was searing and powerful. But for laughs and a good time, you have to enjoy the First Chapter of OGPU Prison ha ha. Cracks me up every time! Sam Deveraux narrates the audiobook of OGPU, and he brings life and a ton of color to the story adding a voice for each character. You can almost smell the booze on the Padre's breath as you listen to him act it out! I think I missed it, but how did Julius Heide end up with the "Murder & Arson" unit? It's mentioned several times over the course of the (latter) novels that he is the textbook, fanatical Nazi soldier. Regimentally correct and all that. At one point Hinka or Old 'Un call him the best soldier in the Regiment (or some larger unit). What did he do? I liked how Porta's crime was described early on in the books – he was banished to the penal company for "laughing"…

I read all of his books as a young man growing up. I found that they made me feel good, as I lived in a post-war era and never had to face the horrors that, without doubt, Sven did. His books taught me that there is no glory in war, only horror, pain, and sadness. Thank you, Sven. As long as I'm alive, part of you still lives on in me. I'll never forget your gift. mol

I'm going to leave the question open for fans of Sven Hassel (SH); and war movies. What do you think about the movie "The Iron Cross"? I find many similarities between Sergeant Steiner (James Coburn and his men) and the characters of SH. Greetings to all lovers of SH books from Alicante, Spain.

As time goes by , The books still hold there relevance, The war in the Ukraine , Russia's aggression, The world once again is on a precipice, But still people will not react, As a reader of these books and a historian and author, I fin d it sad that we have learnt nothing. I Wonder is Sven would even notice the difference with the world then and now, His work is well worth reading. I as a collector and dealer I have a respect for the suffering of all soldiers of any war, And I am grateful for the books written by Sven Hassel and feel if every one was made to read them there would be less wars in this mad world. His outlook is superb which is missing in these days of sorrow. Jamie Cross Militaria

Poetic question: why haven't Hollywood movies been made from Sven's books? Especially the "Monte Cassino" could be a great movie. I think Wehrmacht soldiers cannot be positive heroes for now.

Even if Hassel's work is not entirely based on reality, the themes and concepts make the series the truest form of Anti-War work I've had the pleasure of reading. Thank you Sven for changing my perspective on a lot of things. I just wish in this day and world more people would dare to pick up Legion of the Damned instead of fanatically preaching of war.

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
