There were not much people as animals. Sometimes small and frightened, huddling together in cattle cars, wounds gaping, tongues swelling even as they licked the moist frost from the walls... Grievously wounded - having survived the operating table and the perilous journey West on a freezing freight train- Sven Hassel and his comrades find themselves behind the lines in a Hamburg hospital. The Reich is a hotbed of lies, betrayal and propaganda. Disgusted by the Nazi cause, the comrades drink themselves into oblivion, visit brothels where women dance naked on saloon tables and reach for home comforts before they return to the dreaded Russian Front. Because Hitler's war must go on... Comrades of War is a gritty portrayal of war's harsh realities and the fear and fanaticism at the heart of The Third Reich. Sven Hassel's unflinching narrative is based on his own experiences in the German Army. He began writing his first novel, Legion of the Damned in a prisoner of war camp at the end of World War Two.… (altro)

It is a pretty gritty book looking at the war in Germany where their society seems to fall into chaos. Life is meaningless, the threat of sending someone to the Eastern front is the threat of a death sentence... death by firing squad and beheading is common even on trumped up charges.

This book is seen through the eyes of the author. He has several comrades that are part of the penal brigade. They are fed up with the war. You follow them as wounded they are transported from the Eastern Front in cattle cars back to Germany for convalescence. You follow their recovery, adventures and dependence on alcohol, women (often as not raped) and fighting anyone that they dislike or just for fun including some of their mates.

It is not an easy read. If you dislike coarse language, brutal violence and apocalyptic scenarios then this is not a book for you. I almost put it down after 50 pages but now the characters are growing on me and I want to see how this ends for them.

Each of the main characters are well developed, some you grow to hate... others you grow to like. There is some humour but mostly horror due to a breakdown of a society.

One wonders if this is pure exaggerated fiction or is it an accurate view of Germany towards the last couple of years of WWII.
It gives you a lot to think about and it is not pretty.

When I started this book I thought the violence was gratuitous... however, I stuck with the story through 100 pages and eventually could not put it down. Not a fun read or even heroic for the most part. It is a very depressing viewpoint of war from the losing side point of view. ( )

"Bordel je bio pospremljen. Više nije bilo prašine na krovnim gredama. Stigle su i nove devojke. Velika riba postavljena iznad stola madam je nestala. Na zid je obešena bikova glava. Neko je na jedan od rogova obesio čarapu i svetloplave gaćice. Ostavljene su da vise tamo poput svojevrsnog zaštitnog znaka.

Legionar, naravno, nije mogao da učestvuje u ovoj igri. Kada smo mi ostali otišli sa devojkama, smestio se za sto sa pet boca vina i činijom pein-peina iz kineskog salona u podrumu.''
