Court Martial Author: Sven Hassel

ISBN: 9781780228136 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 320 Published: 14 October 2014 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.7 x 13.0 x 2.1 Description: 'They beat me,' whispers the artillery officer, 'Smashed my teeth in, sent an electric current through me. They want me to confess to something I never did.' Sven Hassel and his comrades are fighting on the Finnish front, facing an arctic winter more ferocious than anything they've ever known. But if they survive, they face shipment to Torgau Prison - the centre of Hitler's penal system - where deserters, convicts and anyone showing anti-Nazi sentiments are imprisoned and punished. This could mean arrest, court-martial and execution. Or it could mean torture and starvation.
