General SS

General SS tells of Sven Hassel and his fellow troops at Stalingrad. War, lack of food and cold put their lives at risk. Moscow radio reports German deaths each minute. Enemy troops close in around the German Sixth Army. There seems to be no way out. A zealous SS general leads the men across the frozen steppe, a vast plain.

This war novel shows how seasoned troops fight to stay alive. It suits those who like war tales set in the past. Hassel served in the German army on several fronts. He then spent years in prison camps, where he began to write.

This pocket edition forms part of the Armada SMART series. Pavel Popescu translated it from English.
