Sven Hassel

[Blitz]

Well, hello.
I'm a eager reader of Hassels books, while ultra violent and unrealistic in some parts, the books are still good reading.. However I'd like to know what Sven Hassel really did during the war. So I'm asking for all and any bit of informatin regarding Sven Hassel during ww2. Thanks in advance

This was discussed before on the forum and in deapth by a Danish(?) author but I believe this authors website/page does not exist anymore......

I will have a quick search and post the links if/when I find them...

An interview with Sven Hassel?

His web page....

Unfortunately I can not find the link that told the "supposable" truth about this person but if I remember correctly he served in a Danish Bicycle unit for some time and the rest ......well who knows

Some of the photos do appear after a time but not always as this is an archive machine
