SS General - Sven Hassel

“Hypnotic study of horrific Stalingrad campaign…Powerful unsparing portrait of war and its nightmares.””

So we stared instead towards the far-off river, the silver ribbon of the Volga, where the dancing rays of the autumn sun made shining rings in the water. And for a short while we were almost hypnotized into believing that the present could last forever, and the past could be wiped out and the future avoided…”
