When I first read Hassel in the 70's I was really hooked. Then having read all the then available books I forgot about him. A couple of months ago I came across him here at Amazon and bought the first 3 to re-read and also "The Bloody Road To Death" as the setting for this one mentions Greece (where I live). I was appalled at the gross inaccuracy of this book's setting! They should have used a geographical atlas and done some research...
Conclusion: Hassel is enjoyable to read but the "historical facts" are really too fictional to even ignore! Research about Hassel verifies in my mind that the accusations of a fake are all true. His "autobiography" as presented in his books is as true as.... Lobsang Rampa's!
However I must concede that his descriptions of war are very realistic and accurate enough (i.e. horrifically realistic although historically very inaccurate) and make for enjoyable reading - for which reason I will probably be getting the next batch in the near future.
Hassel? Enjoy the reading but don't believe a word !
The Bloody Road to Death - Rated
Any book by Sven Hassel is well worth reading. He tells how it was in WW11 as a Danish soldier who was recruited into the Nazi cause against his will. He was there at the savage end fighting a lost Nazi cause. Once you start reading, it's very hard to put down until the last page is reached.
Do read his many other books,very worthwhile. All are 5 star Books!

The book is the best Sven Hassel book I have ever read. It has some of the oddest bits in it and I could not put it down when I read it.
