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.

Super spannend zijn boeken, goede verhalen. Ongelooflijk wat een ellende een mens in zijn leven allemaal kan meemaken.

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.

Hi! all the little poems or quotes that Hassel writes in his books, are they collected somewhere? No, Sven did a lot of research and most of the poems and quotations he found within his huge private library.

I used to read these novels when I was a child back in the early 80s . Latter on in my early thirties I ended up buying the entire set to read. The novels starkly depict the horrors of war. and the depravity and depths humanity can go too. Sven Hassel is one of my favourite writers. My only criticism would be to bring back the old style 80s front cover art work rather than current covers as I find the front covers of the new books in print to be a little bland.

Been a fan for many years. Read them over and over again. If I am in a second hand book shop or market and see one for sale I always buy it. I like the cover art work as it has changed over the years.
