Assignment Gestapo

De: Sven Hassel

Narrado por: Kenneth Wright

It feels as if the entire area is blown up. A long rumbling explosion shakes the German position. Then an infernal scream sounds. Through flashes of fire, they see Tiny's huge silhouette with the light grey bowler on his head. He is standing by the end of the enemy trench with his machine gun resting on his hip. The tracer streak projectiles shoot out of the muzzle. Bewildered shapes flee in panic. - What a bunch of devils, the Russian lieutenant exclaims in admiration.

Sven Hassel was sent to a penal battalion as a private in the German forces. Intensely and with brutal realism, he portrays the cruelty of the war, the Nazi crimes and the crude and cynical humor of the soldiers. With more than 50 million sold copies, this is one of the world's best selling war novels.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A BRILLIANT SVEN HAZEL, MAYBE THE BEST. AN INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS NON THE LESS.
-- L'ECHO DE LA VENTE, FRANCE

Excellent book

Sven Hassel at his best.
2 small remarks: I’ve read Gestapo in 3 languages and nowhere you can find “bleep” instead of the actual invective. Also, there is a name mistake for a secondary character in the last chapter at one point, but it doesn’t affect the plot.

I am dissatisfied with Audible for the fact that other books like “Monte Casino” and “Liquidate Paris” are not available in English or French.
Is Audible acting as a censor on what we can or cannot listen?

Always good reads

I found Sven hassel by accident, but I have never been disappointed. His life story is amazing and as an American it’s been enjoyable for me to read stories from a different perspective. I don’t know how accurate these accounts are and I’m sure there is some dramatization for readability but I can feel the feelings of what these men went through
