Thread: Seven Hassel Books - anyone have one?

As a youngster I ate those books up, looking back now I realise they were most likely BS. The first one and maybe the second seem the closest to reality.
The author had a few allegations made against him but I think you have to look at it within the greater context. There was a lot going on, were those records lost or did they never exist?

At the end of the day truth is stranger than fiction, the stories seemed plausible to me. If anything I think they show what a crazy time it was. I cant even imagine what it would have been like to be caught up in all. The scale of the barbarity is difficult to understand in modern times.

I cant help with the books. Ive long lost mine but you should be able to find them in second hand shops. Maybe you could trade your mags for them?
Ebooks might be another option https://www.svenhassel.com/bookstore/

I quite liked "Wheels of terror" and "Cross of iron" as well.
Heres the movie to tide you over until you can pick a few up

FWIW One of the themes that interested me was the idea of localised ceasefires. Years later I was working with a Frenchman who had fought in Croatia as a volunteer. He said the Serbs would keep moving their blokes around as they would try and organise ceasefires as well. It just goes to show Soldiers often have more in common with their enemy than the people that sent them.
