About this listen

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 The SS-general is marching in front of the convoy, silently and withdrawn.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.

"MOVING STUDY IN THE STALINGRAD CAMPAIGN... POWERFUL, MERCILESS PORTRAYAL OF THE NIGHTMARES OF THE WAR" GLASGOW DAILY RECORD, SKOTLAND

Sven Hazel 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. n

I really enjoyed this book, as with all of his books I’ve reread so many times. On Audible they are a great listen. Don’t be put off by previous Reviews. There is a reason why the narrator uses different accents. For me it didn’t ruin it. I thought the narration was good. You get to understand the characters more. Germans have regional accents too.

Another Great One From Sven Hassel

perfectly paints the horrors of war endured by the ordinary folk and the lies of the leaders.

required reading for those who support war because gov and media told them too.

The Narrator, was really bad.
he was using British dialogue for what is a German soldier, talking about the German Army in world war 2.
West Country or London, etc.
They German, not British
