Hi, I'm 25 and I discovered Sven's books when I was 15-16 and I feel like a newbie compared to someone who read them 20 years ago or more. But I love them incredibly and have a very strong bond with his books. I think I found them at a time when I was in dire need of friends. I really wanted to meet Sven just to thank him, but sadly I couldn't. I really appreciate this page that continues to keep him and his works alive. Every day I try to keep Sven and his works alive because I am very fond of them: I love writing fanfictions about Sven and his characters, talking about his books, encouraging people to do it, I have a mug with a print of Sven, different t-shirts themed you and a sweatshirt, I love to commission drawings on the characters and create music playlists that remind me of the characters. Not long ago on fb I created an initiative on my page in which every day, for a month, I published a quote or dialogues from his books to try to involve other people and bring them closer to his books, just because Porta in "Cursed by God" he took the liberty of saying that no one cared about them and the stories they had to tell! I took it very personally and wanted to prove it was wrong ahaha! I have two Sven characters tattoos on my body and this year one of the stops on my traveling holiday was Montecassino. All this to say: thank you for the work you do with this page and for keeping it alive and active. Beyond the very important message they leave on a moral level and the fact that I think they should be… Read more

Just read a message in this guestbook saying the world hasn’t seemed the same since reading Sven’s books, that sums it up for me, too. I hope people read them forever more. What Sven and his comrades went through will always be with me. RIP Sven.

I'm so pleased to find that this page exists. I discovered Wheels of Terror around 1982 c/o my Grandad. His work has always stayed with me and I still have my complete collection of Corgi editions. I was honoured to write an obituary for Sven for The Quietus after his passing and found this page whilst looking for images as I prep an episode of my podcast (Breakfast in the Ruins) that will cover Wheels of Terror. Thanks for being here!

love these books and have read them over a few times. My cat is called Hassel . They will never get the recognition they deserve because the are anti hero . Steeped in realism and written by one of the losing team . Which is why i think they stand out .

I started reading the books as a new young soldier after a friend gave me a copy, since then I have read all the novels time and time again finding bits that whilst read not grasped the first time. It is a loss to the literary world that he has passed on, but he will all ways live on in our minds with Porta, Tiny,The old Un and the little legionnaire. RIP Sven.

Joseph F. Askew from Beaconsfield wrote on 21/05/2020 at 01:08

I had just entered my teens and my dads friend, who worked for Corgi Books gave me a copy of 'BlitzFreeze'. I devoured it! The dark 'gallows' humour that prevailed through out that and the rest of his books kept me entertained for the next few years. The horrors of warfare, the whole Nazi set up and the sheer brutality of survival in some of the theaters of war led me to investigate them personally as I grew up (Casino, Paris, Torgau, Berlin etc), . OK some say it was fiction, but speaking with a now dwindling group of survivors from that era, a number recount the horrors of battle, very similar to what was written. Yes I was sad when a character was killed off, disappointed when one was not. I tend to revisit the books every 8-10 years, just to remind me how brutal war can be. R.I.P and thank you.

David Rico from Madrid wrote on 11/05/2020 at 15:03

Thank you Sven. Your books are a relevant part of the background of my mind. I appreciate so much your work. Rest in peace camerade. Kind regards to all the Sven's lovers.

Read every book at least twice over from a boy through to my military service. Helped me get through many a lonely night on guard duty. I don't think there was a barracks in the British Army you wouldn't find one of Sven's books……..

The Sven Hassel books helped me get through a bike accident in which I lost my leg . I got totally immersed in the book series and read each one. I was on Facebook one day and founds notice a bit back thatSven Hassel had died And was absolutely amazed that they were real people and not a work of fiction as I would have loved to have thanked him for helping through his work to get me through the worst part of my life and if possible I would be so happy to convey in some way my thanks and gratitude to the rest of the bunch inc Old Man. Porta. Tiny. Legionnaire. Heide. Barcelona-Blom. Gregor Martin. Wolf. Thanks & kind regards Gary

Graeme Fairclough from Sunderland wrote on 03/04/2020 at 00:22

I started reading Sven’s books when I was 15 having a cheeky smoke in the shed- the first I read was A Bloody Road to Death. I was hooked and searched bookstores and car boot sales until I had the whole collection. I am 41 now and downloaded them on my kindle to read again. An awesome collection. I have a German Shepard who I named Sven. People often ask me, why did you name your dog after the football manager….. I DON’T THINK SO. RIP Sven and thank you.

james fear from nottingham wrote on 21/03/2020 at 20:35

As a 15 year old i well remember finishing legion of the damned with a lump in my throat, i very quickly devoured all the others published at that time, i'm now 65, iv'e no time for the numpties who prattle on about whether Sven really did this or that, the works are as He clearly said fiction based on fact' the books made me smile, laugh and almost cry, ( not many writers can do that ) the man was in my humble opinion brilliant at what he did, thank you Sven R.I.P.

John Divver from London wrote on 26/02/2020 at 23:50

I read Legion of the Damned and Wheels of Terror in the early 1970s whilst at boarding school in a bleak part of the UK. They were passed around from boy to boy and then back again. Such a terrific writer, funny, compassionate, and at the same time horrifying. I really should read them all again.

Dale Harding from Newcastle, Australia wrote on 11/11/2019 at 14:10

As a child, I witnessed my brothers and uncle reading Sven Hassel novels. I wasn't allowed to read them until I was, maybe 13? I was engrossed immediately and read every novel I could find. They bring home the bloody, horrifying truths of war. Too many novels and movies glorify war. To this day, every time I go into a second hand book store, I ask for Sven Hassel or the WWII section.

Alan from Auckland wrote on 04/09/2019 at 07:47

I do have all his books then. First read them when I was about 14 and decided 40 years later to get his entire collection.

Dave Meacock from Rhosymadoc Wales UK wrote on 05/08/2019 at 12:08

I first read Legion of the Damned in 1970 as it was virtually obligatory reading for every member of the British Army Of the Rhine with copies of several of your fathers' books in every room in the barracks. I am about to read it again 50 yrs on and care little whether the story is true or fictional as now like then it is a bloody good read.

Mark from South Africa wrote on 26/06/2019 at 13:26

Thanks to Sven Hassel for his books, and to his family for keeping his legacy alive. I first read Blitzfreeze in 1978, as a young grade 10 school-boy, and together with all of my friends eagerly read each of his novels as they became available. Having served in the military and in combat in the Angolan bush-war in 1980's, I learnt first hand how memories blur, when one's first instinct is to try to stay alive , and how important your comrades are to you. Fights might break out over minor things, but you are always willing to share your toothbrush, razor and even underpants with your comrades. We were always hungry, and drank all alcohol that we could get our hands on. Reading about another young man, who also had to endure horrible things, but survived, and went on to live a full life, was a great inspiration to me personally. I will always be grateful that he had the courage to write about his experiences, and only wish that he could have known how his stories would help another generation of young men on the other side of the world to recover from the madness of war.

Like many I read svens books when I was very young, I still read them now many years later. Even today they still have relevance and put life in perspective. Thanks Sven.

Mikko from Kuopio wrote on 06/03/2019 at 19:23

I remember buying my first book form a car boot sale when I was about 14 in 1988, I cannot remember the name of the book but it must have made an impact because I kept on returning to the car boot sale every week to try to find more. I have returned to Sven again as I am older, and I find that the characters are people I want to revisit in our times. Even though the background is a horror war, which is fading from human memory, the characters will always keep it from being just mere history, we the reader are wrapped up in their lives. Maybe nowadays with our modern media, we forget that everyone who dies is a character, who should have their own book.

Paul wrote on 22/02/2019 at 04:09

ello,i am a really big fan of sven hassel.Just finished ss general and its my 5th svens hassel book in this month.I love him,but i am furious there is general called Paul Augsberg in \"Ss general\" book.When i search him,there is no person called it.Is these names fiction ?Why i cant find him ? And also is barcelona blooms name is his real name ? And…..Sorry too many questions .I want to buy svens book about berlin defence.Is it possible ? I know he did not finish the book,but it will definetly worth it.Even i will die wondering the end of the book.Thanks. Answer: Sven´s books are novels not historical book, but based on his experience in WWII, and therefore part is fiction. The only 50 pages of the last novel is available so far only in Danish, Finnish and Norwegian.

Antonio González Sánchez from Alicante wrote on 21/09/2018 at 16:37

Las catorce novelas de Sven Hassel, son para mi las mejores novelas de guerra que jamas he leído, y he leído muchas. Son fuerte, duras, brutales, despiadadas, casi de verdad. Las he leído todas varias veces, y cada vez me gustan más. Solo decir que la receta del puré de patatas con tropezones de tocino de Porta es genial, así como su gato y sobrero. Me gustaría saber que paso con todos los personajes después de la guerra, si alguno sobrevivió. El Viejo, Barcelona, Heidi, El Legionario, el propio Sven, Porta, Hermanito, el Coronel Hinka, etc. Estoy deseando que se publique en España y en español la novela número 15. Seguro que la voy a disfrutar mucho. Saludos a todos los amantes de las novelas de Sven desde España. He escrito este párrafo y comentario en español, en primer lugar porque es mi idioma materno, yo pienso y siento en español, y porque Sven Hassel vivió muchos años en España y murió en España. Y porque creo que él amaba a España. I have written this paragraph and comment in Spanish, firstly because it is my mother tongue, I think and feel in Spanish, and because Sven Hassel lived many years in Spain and died in Spain, and I think he loved Spain.

A few months ago I found and old beaten copy of "Legion of the Damned" that my uncle gave me when i was kid. It sat in my shelf for many years until recently when I started reading as means to help my depression. When I started reading this book I was so fascinated with the characters, the stories. So much so, that with money from my first ever salary I went and bought the entire set of books brand new! Even though you're no longer among us, I want to thank you Sven for writing these books, and for these amazing stories and great characters!

Read my first SH book, Legion of the Damned, while still in high school. It was circulating around communist Romania in photocopied issues… Then, after Nov 1989, a printing house in Bucharest got the rights to translate and print all Sven Hassel novels. I have bought them, read them and enjoyed them greatly. Still re-read them, every once in a while… Humanity should not forget the tragedy that WWII brought on us, all… Even more so, as it seems we are heading towards another long period of international conflict, brutal terrorism and political unrest.
