	BBC - h2g2 - Sven Hassel - Writer
		His books have been out-of-print in the English language for many years now, but Sven Hassel did have his time in the '60s and '70s when he was a world-wide best-seller and his books were traded in every school playground on the planet as important research material for 'The Game Of War'.
		Sven Hassel's novels have a major effect on one's outlook vis-à-vis life.
		Sven Hassel's longer, more involved anecdotes may well have you chuckling as you might to PG Wodehouse.

	Sven Hassel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sven Hassel (born April 19, 1917) is a Danish-born soldier and writer who has written pseudo-autobiographical novels based on his experiences in World War II.
		In 1957 Sven Hassel suffered from an attack of a sickness caught during the war and was paralyzed for almost two years.

		The man's name is Sven Hassel, and during four years in prison camps in Russia, America, France and Denmark, he made lots of notes about his and his friends’ experiences during the war.
		This is something that Sven Hassel has done so extremely well, and I suppose that’s one of the reasons why he has been so popular.
		Hassel has some really good points in his works, and they are really worth reading.

	Sven Hassel \| Books \| Entertainment \| Bizarre Magazine UK
		For kids of the 1970s, these luridly titled paperbacks (Legion Of The Damned, Blitzfreeze, SS General), with their even more lurid covers, were their first introduction to the horrors of war.
		Supposedly based on Sven's own wartime experiences, the books followed the misadventures of the 27th Penal Regiment - a motley collection of deserters, criminals and other undesirables - as they fought their way from France to Russia and back again.
		Many have questioned the truth of Hassel's admittedly credulity-stretching accounts; one Danish journalist has even accused him of having never left occupied Denmark, claiming the books were ghostwritten by Sven's wife.

	1981 SHAKESPEARE AND SVEN HASSEL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Sven Hassel, perhaps the greatest literary author alive, has been challenged by some critics, who say the content of his works is lacking.
		Braunstein, MA, has even suggested that 'Macbeth' (one of Shakespeare's plays) is on a level with that masterly piece of prose, 'Legion of the Damned', by Sven Hassel.
		However these allegations have no ground, and there is little doubt that the eminent Sven Hassel will be troubled by this rather uninteresting Elizabethan author, and will continue, to the delight of many well-educated readers, to produce his quota of sixteen books a week.

	March Battalion by Sven Hassel, war and military book reviews at Killing Fields Network
		For a change the crew are actually in their tanks, Hassel giving his usual graphic description of fighting inside the hot claustrophobic confines of a 52 ton Tiger, gives you the impression he's experienced it himself.
		Hassel seems to relish describing the torment and terror the prisoners go through before being tied to a poll and shot.
		Another good book by Hassel even though it felt like I'd read it all before in his other books - same shit different time - but maybe that's war having said that I still read from cover to cover, I can't get enough of the way he describes war holding nothing back.

		The first novel published under the name of Sven Hassel was The Legion Of The Damned in 1957, which lays the basis for much of the above.
		It is a shocking but quite human story and many believe this book to be at least based in fact, even if the rest of his oeuvre may be little more than a cash-in.
		Sven now apparently has the rights back to all his books (and is looking for English-language publishers) as well as the much-derided 1988 film of Wheels of Terror (aka The Misfit Brigade) directed by Gordon Hessler and starring Bruce Davison, David Patrick Kelly, D.W. Moffett, Jay O. Sanders and Slavko Stimac as Sven.

		Sven Hassel rejoins his comrades in the 27th penal battalion - now equipped with armoured vehicles - for the next battles on the Russian Front.
		The main character Porta is a lanky loud mouth with hardly any teeth and a top hat who carries a kitten in his gasmask carry case and yet despite this rather strange Obertafuhuer, he is a merciless killing maschine and convicted rapist.
		This book is an episodic semi-autobiographical journey through a part of the Second World War told through the eyes of the 'hero', Sven Hassel, a member of a penal regiment fighting the Russians.

		I also think, after rereading some of it, that the Allies screwed up in not occupying the whole country after WW I. Of course hindsight is always 20/20, but given the social and economic conditions it seems insane now to have left them to their own devices.
		According to himself, Hassel was born as Sven Pedersen at Frederiksborg, Denmark in April 19 1917.
		Denmark had its share of the Recession and in 1937 now unemployed Hassel moved to Germany and managed join a cavalry regiment when he agreed to change nationality.

		Sven is more or less a fiction writer, but he claims to have been on the front in a penal unit.
		Regardless of his own story, his fiction is somewhat amusing and a good fun read if you don't need a great brain challenge.
		Have researched Hassel a little and it's very confusing.
