I used to be very into Sven Hassel.

Critically, it was often believed that he spent most the war in POW camps and the exploits of his merry band are various tales told to him by german POWs collated and dressed up as those of his colleagues.

If you consider that the books chronologically make no sense, Tiny/Little John loses his ear about five times in six books. Heide gets his nose broken at least 20 times and looses more teeth than anyone has in their head then you can see their might be some truth in this.

See my other thread for incredibly likely scenarios.

yes i thinks factually the books are bollocks,

but theres some great tales, and haveing seen simalar things in the army, i can belive most of them.

but he contradicts himself, and exadurates, but some great yarns all the same

I recall Porta had a monocle attached to the hat by a cord fashioned "from a piece of some girls' underwear"! Should be fun getting that bit right!




When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
