Servus! July 44 near Daugavpils Latvia, Chistyakov's Sixth Guard Army hits Wagners 132 Infantry Division. Lieutenant Gottlob Bidermann was dug in on the...
Servus! One wonders how many stone markers like the Daugaupils one dot the European map. And how many places are unmarked or forgotten or are unknown. In war...
We all know the journalist Erik Haaest. Sven Hassel calls him in an interview on svenhassel.net an "extreme rightist lunatic, who has written a couple of...
I don't think Haaest is particularly Right Wing. He does appear to write sympathetically about the fighting SS, but that's quite common. Many historians have...
Does anybody on the list speak Danish? The only thing I have ever come across that was bad about Hassel was Haaest and his site. If it was the truth why isn't...
This Haaest of yours is fighting for a lost cause. Furthermore I fail to see amazing and entertaining part in stories regarding the atrocities commited by the...
I speak and read Danish. And I’ve also been in touch with Eric. My conclusions are the same as Dan’s . Over the years (my first contact with Eric was In...
I've read a bit of Haaest impressions of Hassel and that Haaest thinks the novels are lies and someway I agree with him.. We all know that there was a WW2, but...
First, one can approach the SS with some neutrality in that while some units committed atrocities, some did not. It is unfair to tar the organization with the...
I uderstand what you mean about Hassel using material from other books. If you have the opportunity read first Cross of Iron by Willie Heinrich and then read...
On the topic of writngs on the SS. The best book I have read on this is Steel Storm: SS Panzer Battles on the Eastern Front. This book will implore smpathy fr...

I have created a new database for everyone to put on suggestions of books to read. There is 3 catagories Facttual,fiction,autobiogrophy. Please try to include...
Yes i read some of the original Kessler books the Wotan series including Forced March and they were ok. I started the Storm Troop series and found it shallow...
I've said it before,but the "Otto Stahl" series by Kessler is the one that comes closest to Hassel in terms of wit.....a "Lovable Rogue" in the Porta mould ...
looking at some of the comments about kesslers work i had to say i disagree,i have all of his books,many which are now out of print,60+ books and counting,and...

Servus! It would be nice to make a movie(Movies)with all the money, technical stuff and all the expertise etc.that Hollywood has at it's beck and call. Of ...
Servus Adrian! We got to agree with you. The US Marine Corps in WW II had a great and a very aggressive publicity department that dwarfed the U.S. Armys by a ...
