This review is from: Liquidate Paris (Cassell Military Paperbacks) (Paperback)

This is the seventh book written by Sven Hassel, all of them portraying the German characters from the 27th Panzer Regiment, 5th company, 2nd Section. In this book, they are all here: Old Man (Willi Beier), Joseph Porta, Tiny (Wolfgang Creutzfeldt), Sven, Legionnaire (Alfred Kalb), Barcelona Blom, Gregor Martin and Julius Heide. The "guest stars" are company commander Lowe and fellow soldier Gunther (this one never to appear again, Lowe to be killed in "Reign of Hell").

As a brief search in the Internet will inform you, there are controversies about who was Sven Hassel or even who wrote his books (there are 14 of them). Indeed, the general atmosphere and writing style differs so much from book to book that it sometimes seems each one was written by a different person! Anyway, what is important is they are good, entertaining, sometimes vulgar, sometimes tear-jerking, sometimes extremely funny books.

LIQUIDATE PARIS has fewer combat sequences than other books, but even so is a generally good entry in the catalogue. If you read one of the other books and liked it, you'll like this one.
