Sven Hassel has been compared to Hemingway, Hasek
and Homer. His work is considered a monument against war and dictatorship
as well as one of the best pictures ever given of the plain soldier with
his racy humour. Hassel tells us about the men, who do not make wars,
but have to fight them.<br>
This unique series of the world literature is about
a German platoon (Porta, Tiny, Old Man, the Legionnaire, Heide, Barcelona-Blom,
Sven, etc.) on different fronts during WWII and narrates the atrocity
and absurdity of war as well as the brutality and stupidity of the nazi
regime.<br>
The Second World War both frightens and fascinates
those, who do not carry that period as an awful memory. Its history can
be told in different ways - as eyewitness descriptions, as thrillers with
the war as background and as documentary works.<br>
Sven Hassel does not use either of these genres. There
is no doubt about his participation in the war on German side. But even
so Sven does not give us the eyewitness description. A great part is based
on his own experiences, but part is also based on his comrades' stories
and as Hassel says, on the author's legitimate right to use free fantasy.<br>
It is the small melted group of soldiers, Hassel narrates
about, a brutal and talkative collective, whose overview is no further
than their chin straps. Sven Hassel gives, however, a picture of the war
as a way of life and at the same time as a meaningless madness.<br>
For the private front soldier in the Wehrmacht,
the only thing that matters without false hope is to survive, and to do
so, the raw and cynical humour of Sven Hassel's characters is a tremendous
help.<br>
