Sven Hassel – Everything is true? Pls discuss?
I am a big fan of Sven hassel but I have found in some of his books things that are(were) not quite real.
For example in the book “The bloody road to death” ( I think), he said that , when on a mission to capture an ex-german( now soviet) comisar his group encountered 4 tanks, or so he says.2 of them were BA-64 and one a Humber MK 2.
He said they are tanks when in fact all these 3 were by no means tanks, but armored cars.
Also he said in some of his books that the Sd.Kfz. 234/2 “Puma” was a tank when, in fact was one of the most powerful armored cars in WW2.
He says his regiment was a penal regiment, yet there was a 27th regiment in the German Army, but it was not penal.
He also says they were equiped with Tigers, when these heavy tanks were scarce and were organized in special batalions, directly under Corps command and is impossible to think that they were given to any penal formation.
Now I have read all his books, and I know many of his books are more fiction that reallity.
Hassels books are not seen as a reliable source by historians,
I find it very difficult to believe that a member of a penal unit who left school at age 14 becomes a lieutenant (becoming an officer in the german military has always required Abitur, a school degree which can be obtained at age 18/19, not 14. A deserter usually would never have gotten a promotion again. Penal units were generally not equipped with tanks, but did thinks such as disarming mines etc.
