"O.G.P.U. Prison" is one of the best books by Sven Hassel. The most charismatic characters are present (Porta, Old Man, the Legionnaire, Tiny, Barcelona, Heide, Gregor... and there's also a new member of the "gang" called Albert, who happens to be a black soldier in the Nazi Army ), it is full of battle descriptions and it includes some of the peculiar adventures of Porta.

The Germans are trying to take over an O.G.P.U. prison that stands in the summit of a hill and, of course, Hassel and his comrades are going to be part of the first group of attackers.

All that makes Hassel books so great is there: action, black humor, sarcasm, eccentricities, strange characters, stupidity, braveness ...

my rating:
