I can't seem to find Sven Hassel's follow up books to
Beast Regmient
Gestapo
Which I enjoyed as a teen.

I think the other two books were called
SS General
Legion of the Damned

Could never find them. I suppose I need to hunt around on line ... out of print for years, if ever printed on this side of the pond.

Saw Fury yesterday with my son.
I guess the point of the movie was to show how war brutalizes people. That "heroes" are probably not who you think they are. That cartoons can be put on a screen just as in a comic book. That someone, perhaps the director, read and believed the old DC comic "The Haunted Tank" and believed that it was non fiction. I probalby read a dozen episodes of that serial when I was 10 or 11, about when I was reading Biggles. I wonder if I still have any of those old comic books up in the attic ...

Won't see Fury again. Wasn't a bad diversion for a single afternoon. Glad we didn't pay full price.
