Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

It's clear why Sven Hassell's books have sold millions. From a no-holds barred description of frontline combat to accounts of partisan attacks and adventures in Rome on leave, his World War II story is a classic. Here, Sven and his comrades who have survived the deadly fighting on the Russian front are posted to Italy, where the armies are locked in battle around the ancient hilltop of Monte Cassino. In the face of overwhelming Allied firepower, Sven and his fellow soldiers cling to the mountainside, knowing they cannot defy the odds forever.


About the Author

Born in 1917 in Fredensborg, Denmark, Sven Hassel joined the merchant navy at the age of 14. He did his compulsory year's military service in the Danish forces in 1936 and then, facing unemployment, joined the German army. He served throughout World War II on all fronts except North Africa. Wounded eight times, he ended the war in a Russian prison camp. He wrote LEGION OF THE DAMNED while being transferred between American, British and Danish prisons before making a new life for himself in Spain.

3.0 out of 5 stars is night vision binocular is available during WW2?, Oct 15 2003
By "pickelhaube" (Jakarta, Jakarta Indonesia) - See all my reviews
I have read 4 of sven's books, well, basically they are good, but something bothers me tho. In monte casino, I think, major braun was stated as using his 'night vision binoculars', I thought these gadgets only available only recently, well, at least after WW2.
