SS General

De: Sven Hassel

Narrado por: Sam Devereaux

It is freezing 38 degrees. Stalingrad, the winter of 1942-1943. A chilling wind sweeps over the plains, slinging ice crystals into our faces. We are marching past thousands of frozen bodies. The SS-general is marching in front of the convoy, silently and withdrawn. He is angry. We realized that a while back. A fanatic who wishes to die in battle. And the SS-general wants to take as many to die with him as possible.

A Good Work

I have long been a fan of Sven Hassle books and read this book in paperback back in 1974.

Odd British accent & British terms I did not care for.

RJH

not to fond of the British accent

The story line is okay until the narrator starts speaking in a British accent...... It's a German war novel and all of the sudden he starts with all of that..... If I wanted that, I would have bought a British war novel.
