About this listen
" ..... AL NIVEL DE LA DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA BATALLA DE TROYA POR HOMERO" NEUE ZEITUNG, ALEMANIA
Monte Cassino, el monasterio sagrado al noroeste de Nápoles. Los alemanes han construido masivas posiciones defensivas. La batalla de Monte Cassino en el invierno y primavera de 1944 será un infierno indescriptible tanto para defensores como atacantes. Los aliados ponen en juego aviones, artillería, blindados e infantería de muchas naciones. Las fuerzas alemanas son capitaneadas por la mejor tropa de élite. Entre ellas el Regimiento de Panzer no. 27 - el regimiento de castigo. Nadie espera que haya supervivientes, aunque algunos habrá. Sven Hassel fue mandado a un batallón de castigo como soldado raso en el ejercito alemán. Con un realismo cercano y brutal narra las atrocidades de la guerra, los crímenes de los nazis y el humor cínico y tosco de los soldados. Con unas ventas superiores a los 50 millones de ejemplares son los libros de guerra más vendidos en el mundo.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 13
We hear the crawlers closing in. A T-34. They must have seen us, Tiny whispers. - Stay low until it is right here, then we run! The horrible clattering of the crawler comes closer and closer. I know this fear, creeping up the spine. It will mean certain death if they run just one second too soon. How we get up, I don't know, the legs move automatically. The tank wiggles over the hole and crushes everything in it. Then it rumbles on.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
At least one battalion of flame-throwers is swinging around like a pack of crazy wild boars. Long, flaming red tongues of fire are hissing from the towers, charring every living thing. From the GPU-prison stream shoals of red prisoners. A barrage of incredible dimensions is hammering down behind the Germans. It seems like the Russians have guessed that they are pondering an escape and want to stop it with an impenetrable wall of fire, spreading as far as the eye can see.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Rumor has it; they are being moved to Warsaw. Heide, who is always informed, claims that all hell is loose over there. There is talk of a German pullback from the eastern frontline. Thousands of British paratroops have landed and Polish soldiers converge on from the woods. But the Polish army is already doomed. Not only by the Reichsführer Himmler in Berlin, but also by Marshal Stalin. The Polish nationalists vainly beg the Red Army for help. But it has already been decided that the Polish communists are to take over Poland.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Porta struggles to keep the heavy tank between the marching soldiers. One moment of inattention, and he will bulldoze an entire company. An enormous fireball strikes the bushes in front of the vehicle. The panzer soldiers jump head first from the tanks for cover. With frightened eyes and beating hearts they lay in the sun, waiting for death. A great wall of fire rises towards the sky. - Stalin organ, Heide mumbles terrified. Porta speeds up the engine. The tank plows through sun and water. They are near Moscow, 1941.

It is freezing 38 degrees. Stalingrad, the winter of 1942-1943. A chilling wind sweeps over the plains, slinging ice crystals into our faces. We are marching past thousands of frozen bodies. The SS-general is marching in front of the convoy, silently and withdrawn. He is angry. We realized that a while back. A fanatic who wishes to die in battle. And the SS-general wants to take as many to die with him as possible. "MOVING STUDY IN THE STALINGRAD CAMPAIGN...

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8
It feels as if the entire area is blown up. A long rumbling explosion shakes the German position. Then an infernal scream sounds. Through flashes of fire, they see Tiny's huge silhouette with the light grey bowler on his head. He is standing by the end of the enemy trench with his machine gun resting on his hip. The tracer streak projectiles shoot out of the muzzle. Bewildered shapes flee in panic. - What a bunch of devils, the Russian lieutenant exclaims in admiration.

Para los que hayan crecido leyendo a Hassel.
Estos son libros escritos en los años sesenta y setenta en su mayoria durante el "boom" de la IIGM.
Son relatos con los que la gente de cuarenta y más años hemos disfrutado cuando teníamos quince o dieciséis años.
En ellos se narran las andanzas de un grupo de combatientes alemanes pertenecientes a un regimiento disciplinario que desfilan por prácticamente todos los grandes escenarios de la guerra: Polonia, Rusia, Francia, Italia...
Sus nombres: Porta, Hermanito, El Legionario, Barcelona, Gregor, El Viejo, Heide, etc...
Si lo que buscas es rigor histórico y una lectura suave y adaptada a esta época de corrección política y buenismo, mejor busca en otro lado.
Puro entretenimiento bélico, montones de acción tremendamente gráfica (el detalle de las matanzas, los combates, el horror), humor negro a veces brutal a veces surreal y momentos dramáticos muy muy tristes.
Todo ello mezclado en una ensaladilla rusa literaria que para mi no tiene desperdicio.
Son libros estupendos, absurdos, muy entretenidos que dependiendo de tu generación tal vez ya figuran en tus estanterías, las de tu suegro, o de tu abuelo, quizás incluso de tu padre.
Si eres alguien que ya conoce estos libros y desea escucharlos narrados o simplemente alguien que ha descubierto recientemente a este autor y no tienes prejuicios... merecen la pena todos.
Como única pega el narrador, que lo hace bien y de manera correcta pero... deja mucho que desear.
Al menos se le oye y entiende bien.
