 At fourteen Sven Hassel traveled around the world as a cabin boy on a freighter. In 1930 the unemployment situation in Denmark caused him to emigrate to Germany, where one could still find work.
He enlisted in the German army in 1937 and was wounded in a cavalry regiment while fighting on the Polish Front. He was then transferred to the Second Tank Regiment which took part in the invasion of Poland in 1939.
In 1941 he was sent into a disciplinary army regiment that fought in Russia under the worst conditions. He took part in military operations in all except the North African Front. [edit]
