About this listen
Stationed on the Russian Front and now equipped with armoured vehicles, Sven Hassel and his comrades from the 27th Penal Regiment fight on remorselessly... All of them should be dead: Life expectancy on the Russian Front is measured in weeks. But Sven, Porta, Tiny and The Legionnaire fight to the end, not for Germany, not for Hitler, but for survival. Wheels of Terror is a sobering depiction of war's brutalities, and the violence and inhumanity that the history books leave out. Read by Rupert Degas.

Awesome
I love this series, read it 40years ago, then reread it a few years later. Robert Degas brings the books to life with both high and lows and brings the characters to life. The perfect narrator for this series, I am heart broken he did not narrate the full series.

More sophisticated than I expected.
I picked this up on a whim because I vaguely remembered a friend at Sixth Form raving about Sven Hassel's books. I wasn't expecting much but partly thanks to the excellent narration of Rupert Degas this turned out to be a very good read indeed.
It follows the story of a group of soldiers in a German penal regiment, the absolute canon fodder in Hitler's army. It's to the credit of the author and narrator that I was able to sympathise with what in many ways is a thoroughly dis-likable crew.
This is done by emphasising the trully awful conditions and plight of normal German soldiers in Hitler's army faced with the Russian Front. Some of what happens is genuinely heartbreaking but the roughneck humour and black hearted camaraderie of the group that Degas brings to life through Hassel's text provides blackly humorous moments of light relief too.
I will look out for more . . .
