Porta lutte pour que le colossal char blindé reste entre la colonne des soldats. Un moment d'inattention et il aurait pu écraser la compagnie au complet. Une énorme boule de feu tombe juste devant le char, entre les sapins. Les soldats panzer plongent hors des blindés pour chercher refuge. Les yeux remplis de terreur et les cœurs battant à grands coups, ils attendent la mort, sous le soleil. Un mur de feu gigantesque s'érige vers le ciel. - Organes de Staline, murmure Heide craintif. Porta accélère le moteur.

"Un grand roman sur la guerre." Alan Silitoe. Les soldats du Régiment Panzer nº 27 battent en retraite. Ils doivent participer à l'horrible déblaiement, une fois les bombes alliées tombées sur les villes allemandes. Les chenilles des tanks sillonnent les steppes de Russie, sous le froid insupportable de l'hiver, dans une marche vers la mort qui semble ne jamais s'achever. Des milliers d'exilés inondent les routes. Des avions de chasse russe, tels des bouchers, volent à basse altitude et transforment le courant de réfugiés en un cri lugubre vers le ciel.

Es scheint, als ob der ganze Boden in die Luft fliegt. Eine lange dröhnende Explosion erschüttert die deutschen Linien. Dann hört man einen höllischen Schrei. Durch die Feuerblitze ist die enorme Silhouette von Wolfgang Creutzfeldt mit der grauen Melone auf dem Kopf zu sehen. Er steht am Ende des feindlichen Grabens mit dem Maschinengewehr gegen die Hüfte gepresst. Aus dem Gewehrlauf werden die Lichtwege der Projektile gespuckt. Verwirrte Schattenbilder fliehen in Panik. - "Die sind ja wie der Teufel selbst!", ruft der russische Leutnant bewundernd aus.

Bloody partisan fights rage in the Balkans. Grenades rain down over the streets. From the rooftops, a heavy machinegun fire strikes down on the hunting battalion. Moaning, the injured soldiers crawl for cover. Molotov cocktails explode with hollow roars, and the burning liquid splash up on humans and materiel. - Partisan, the major stutters terrified and jumps off the vehicle. Porta salutes him with an idiotic smile. - Reporting to the Major that they will probably make it hot for us!

"Es ist beißend kalt, 38 unter Null. Stalingrad im Winter 1942 -1943. Ein eisiger Wind fegt über die Ebenen und schleudert uns Eiskristalle an die Gesichter. Wir marschieren an Tausenden von steif gefrogenen Leichen vorbei. Vor der Kolonne marschiert still und verschlossen der SS-General. Er ist verrückt. Das ist uns jetzt klar." Sven Hassel wurde als gemeiner Soldat zu einem Strafbataillon in der deutschen Wehrmacht geschickt. Er erzählt mit einem nahen und brutalen Realismus von den Grausamkeiten des Krieges, den Verbrechen der Nazis und dem zynischen und groben Humor der Soldaten.

En raison du manque de soldats, Hitler appelle sous les drapeaux tous les hommes disponibles. Les criminels, prisonniers politiques et déserteurs sont amnistiés et envoyés au front. Ils sont tous réunis dans un bataillon de marche et ils sont affectés aux missions les plus pénibles. L'obéissance aveugle est ce qu'il y a de plus dur. Bien plus de vingt fois par jour, on leur rappelle, entre malédictions et instructions prussiennes, qu'ils font partie d'un régiment disciplinaire et qu'ils seront les meilleurs soldats du monde.

Le Légionnaire tourne le canon de sa mitraillette. Les traces de fumée dévorent les ventres des officiers. Ils s'écroulent brusquement sur la neige, qui se teint de rouge. Au fur et à mesure que les soldats, couverts de peaux, s'avancent dans les bois, des cris de bêtes sont entendus. Ils se trouvent sur le front russo-finlandais. Les mitraillettes résonnent jusqu'à vider leurs chargeurs. Le peloton du Vieux, avec le colossal Petit-Frère et Porta qui jouent les rôles principaux, lutte sauvagement derrière les lignes russes.

Heide wails, jumps up and lands on the other side of the trench, where he slides through the mud like a bulldozer. Our tank starts backing up in full speed. Porta has clearly also spotted the madness lying ahead in wait of spreading death and mutilation. Nothing travels as fast as the rumor that the front troops have hit the dreaded mines. Suddenly everything goes quiet. Even the heavy Maxim gun stops. Everyone holds their breath and waits for the mine to go off.

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.

"The Pioneers: The Sources of the Susquehanna; a Descriptive Tale" is a historical novel, the first published of the "Leatherstocking Tales", a series of five novels by American writer James Fenimore Cooper. While "The Pioneers" was published in 1823, before any of the other "Leatherstocking Tales", the period it covers makes it the fourth chronologically.

In the opening days of 1644, there seems to be little hope for Parliament’s soldiers. To William Sparrow and his men, the woods of Dorset are a snow-covered sanctuary – even on Christmas Day – from the horrors of Penmethock and pursuit by the King’s men. Hugo Telling has finally returned home, ready to introduce his ‘wife’, Bella Morrison, to his family. But the Telling family is now as affected by the war as any in England; Hugo’s brother has volunteered – but on Parliament’s side.

Die Soldaten des Panzerregiments 27 befinden sich im Rückzug. Sie müssen an den schrecklichen Aufräumarbeiten teilnehmen, nachdem alliierte Bomben auf deutsche Städte geregnet sind. Die Raupenketten der Panzer ziehen sich unter den eisigen Krallen des Winters über die Steppen Russlands - auf einem Todesmarsch, der kein Ende nehmen will. Tausende von Vertriebenen füllen die Straßen. Russische Kampfflugzeuge kommen wie Metzger in geringer Höhe kreischend dahergeflogen und verwandeln den Strom der Flüchtlinge in einen makabren Schrei zum Himmel.

1940. Dunkirk is over? Will Britain fight on or talk peace? Fugitive and Hitler admirer, Billy Houston, craves a Nazi-run Britain. Needing money and intent on burglary, it ends in murder. But he’s in luck, his victim has in his possession the entire anti-invasion plans for Southern Britain, this while Armistice talks are slated to take place on the Isle of Wight. A desperate Billy makes contact with Rudi Graebner, a German naval officer and spy embedded in the Spanish Embassy. The two have nothing in common - they instinctively take a dislike to each other and trust is at a premium.

Two great nations fighting against a common enemy. Who will survive? When a US Embassy in South-East Asia is bombed by followers of terrorist Osama bin Laden, the US and UK decide it is time to act against the terrorist leader by striking at his stronghold in Afghanistan.

Most of this story is true; the rest of it could so easily have been. Boat Troop are sent up river into war-torn Sierra Leone on a mission to secure a vital ore mine. While the men battle their way up river past vicious hippos and poisonous snakes, political events are rapidly overtaking the city-based HQ. As the balance of power swings between government and rebels, HMG wavers in its intentions. Soon after Boat Troop arrive at the mine they discover they are out on their own... and with the extra burden of civilians to hamper their task.

War is dangerous in itself but when someone is at war with themselves at the same time, it becomes even more dangerous. Within two weeks of the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, four men of Boat Troop, B Squadron, 22 SAS, are on the islands too. It is the mission of these four men to gather vital intelligence, with Argentine patrols everywhere. The rest of B Squadron are tasked with a suicide mission -- an attack on the Argentine airbase in the mainland. In charge is a man unafraid to risk the lives of his men in search of greater personal glory.
