Product Description
Product Description
Their more unorthodox weapons were lengths of steel wire and knives with double-edged blades, and some of their most prized possessions were gold teeth snatched from corpses. The 'Disciplinary Regiment', a tank company in Hitler's army - without a tank to its name - was fighting a brutal war against the Russians. A bunch of hardened killers in filthy rags, stinking to high heaven, this company was worth an entire regiment of freshly laundered troops from Breslau. Guerrilla warfare on the eastern Front was for them a prelude to the bloody massacre of Russian troops who had attacked the German reserves and occupied their headquarters.

About the Author
Born in 1917 in Fredensborg, Denmark, Sven Hassel joined the merchant navy at the age of 14. He did his compulsory year's military service in the Danish forces in 1936 and then, facing unemployment, joined the German army. He served throughout World War II on all fronts except North Africa. Wounded eight times, he ended the war in a Russian prison camp. He wrote Legion of the Damned while being transferred between American, British and Danish prisons before making a new life for himself in Spain.
