About this listen

A special command from the convict regiment, wearing Russian uniforms, take over four Russian T-34 tanks. Remote reconnaissance far behind the Russian lines in Caucasus. The year is 1942. Hour for hour, the tanks roll eastward. Several times, Russian departments challenge them. We follow the soldiers in their desperate struggle to find their way back to the German lines. The distances are great, the friends are few and death is always right behind them...

Sven Hassel (1917-2012) 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.

At first I thought I was not going to enjoy this book, but soon found that Kenneth Wright’s subtle narration made the book as entertaining as any other in this series.

Revisiting this audiobook transported me back to the time when I first read it 51 years ago. I was particularly struck by one chapter that I recalled vividly, where Heide candidly shared the painful stories of his abusive childhood and his tyrannical father, whom he described as a true "pig." It was an emotional experience to relive those powerful moments. While I found great enjoyment in reconnecting with this book, I can’t help but think that many younger readers today might shy away from it, given its politically incorrect themes and challenging content.

The Fourth in Sven Hassel’s Brilliant Series of Timeless Books. It’s hard to find words to describe how these books have never felt more relevant than now. I have been reading these for forty five years and I must admit ev
