In 'Execution', Sven Hassel takes us to the Finnish front, where the author's usual characters face a critical situation. After an intense Russian attack, the German troops must retreat. Colonel Frick is forced to make a heartbreaking decision: abandon the wounded who cannot walk, leaving them in the care of some volunteers, to save the rest of the forces. This decision unleashes an internal conflict among the officers, leading to tragic consequences and the title of the book. As is characteristic of Hassel, the harshness of the facts is balanced with moments of humor and humanity, thanks to his unforgettable characters.
Sven Hassel was the pen name of the Danish-born Børge Willy Redsted Pedersen known for his bestselling novels about German soldiers fighting in World War II. In Denmark he used the pen name Sven Hazel. He is one of the bestselling Danish authors, possibly second only to Hans Christian Andersen.
