Book Description

May 30, 1980
It’s war on the Finnish front for Porta, Tiny, Barcelona, and The Legionnaire—and it’s hellish, with ice, blood, cold, and wolves in addition to the enemy. It barely matters who wins, as long as you survive. But even survival can be dangerous in an army where the Fuhrer’s fanatics are rife. To endure the Russian tanks, the machine guns, and the flame-throwers could mean shipment to the infamous and brutal Torgau Prison where conditions are almost more savage than the battlefield. To stay alive through the fighting might mean arrest, court martial, and—in the end—a cold grey day facing the execution squad.

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. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sven has done it again!, January 19, 1998
This review is from: Court Martial (Hardcover)
"Court Martial"is a master-piece. Among all the other tittles written by Sven, this stands as one of the most gruesome figures about World War II, and serves to alert all those fools who still think war is a big place for heroes!! Go on, Sven, and show them the truth!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sven Hassel fan From Finland, March 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Court Martial (Hardcover)
I've read all Sven Hassel books but one, Legion Of Damned! Seeing how funny, realistic, and brutal books he writes i could say the Legion Of Damned is a really good book! But i think the best book of Sven Hassel is SS-General. It tells how careless their commanders were. They only tought of theirselfs and how they could be a war hero or something. It's amazing that one General, believe it or not, A SS-General saved the whole party (or what was left of it). The story goes nice and smoothly and i that's why i think that's the best book of Sven Hassel.

The credit goes to you Sven Hassel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Court Martial, July 30, 2001

This review is from: Court Martial (Hardcover)
I have the chance to read all books of this writer, also i am a bluff of military history specifically in WWII, and i'm glad to see the intensity and the passion that this writer put in each book, is another way to profess that war is an irresponsible attitude of the human race, in each character he instills the hate against war, he never try to disguised it, in brutal and plain language put the reader through that brutal world of the human conflict.
