Description

After months of fighting a savage war on the Eastern Front, the 27th Penal Regiment – men considered little more than criminals – are joined by German reserves.

A garrison has been attacked and occupied by Russian troops. The German soldiers have been slaughtered. Sven Hassel and his comrades are ordered to get behind Russian lines and massacre those responsible.

But this is only the beginning… Because then the orders change: the regiment are sent to Hamburg, where their next assignment is guard duty for the mercilessly cruel Gestapo…

User’s Reviews

Review Hassel’s books of war are the most powerful I have ever readHe is graphic, at times brilliantly so, but never brutal or bitter. He is, too, a first-rate storyteller―WASHINGTON POSTIn essence this is an expose of the absurdity of war, and a moving plea for peace. As such, it takes its rank with far milder books, such as ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT―NEWSDAY –This text refers to the paperback edition.

⭐ I read all of the Sven Hassel books way back in the early 80’s. I thought I would revisit them, as they are available as digital versions. They are still a good, if a little lightweight, read – even after all these years,Easy to read and get through reasonably quickly (I think my reading ability has vastly improved and sped up since I was 19 or 20 years old).I wouldn’t take the entire story at face value, I would say that after the first book or two in the series that the author has taken some artistic license with the internal details and absolute historians would quibble over some of the scenarios.Don’t let that put you off though; they are a great snapshot of the terrible time the world found itself in WW2, as well as an insight into the brutality of war and the obscene regime of the Nazi’s.The book and the series would suit young men 18 years and over. The style and format lends itself well to start those who are not readers off and, hopefully, develop a thirst for more, and more complex, reads.

⭐ This is one of the better Sven Hassel books, I got it on the Kindle. Most of the action takes place in Hamburg, and for anyone who knows Hamburg, will be able to recognise lovely places like Landungsbrucken, Fuhlsbuttel, Alster, as well as more seedy spots like the Reeperbahn and Herbertstrasse. The usual suspects, ie Tiny, The Old Man, Legionnaire, Barcelona, Porta and Sven himself have themselves a bit of time off, while the main plot evolves around The Gestapo at work, with ruthless, no holds barred, make it up as you go along rules, enforced brutally to show the prisoners who’s boss, regardless of whether they’re fair or not. The motley crew go about gazumping the most unruly elements of the Gestapo with a view to catching up with them, and meting out their own form of justice.Assignment Gestapo is a direct prelude to Monte Cassino, which takes me to my next stop. It is about the only time when one of Sven’s books has a natural sequel to it, I’m hoping that Monte Cassino lives up to Assignment Gestapo, which shows what Sven and co gets up to away from the rough and tumble of warfare. Highly recommended!

⭐ Good value for the price.

⭐ An interesting take on the friction between the soldiers/people and the police. German soldiers managing to come out on top of the Gestapo. Typical pulp fiction, good vs bad…. or bad vs worse… lol.

⭐ Goods as described, thanks

⭐ I read it many time, I do like it to read in English.

⭐ would recommend any world war two buff to read .Please read any of the authors books . It puts you in the battles of the Eastern Front .

⭐ Same old Seven. Nothing really different from the other books. Don’t get me wrong I love his books but they are all the same.

⭐ Awesome book! MDH love it! Great version in English language.Thank you Amazon for providing us, the readers with such a great book!

⭐ Great tale!
