In his books he often exaggerate...but cool stories nontheless.
Gotta love a character like Porta the tankdriver.
Think that one of his books was put to film.[don't know the title]

R.I.P Sven Hassel.


Greetings,Ron.
 
Death on wheels i think it was (döden på larvfötter in swedish)
it was about the fighting in soviet, and the movie is not one of the best either, think i have it somewhere on DvD...

I remember reading his books when i was based in England. I always wondered how much was fact vs fiction.

Here in the states,Wheels of Terror was called The Misfit Brigade.

RIP Sven.
 
There can be pieces of the movie be found on You Tube;
