[Mati · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is typical military adventure centered on male readers. There is gore, sex, gore and males, who are author wanna bes. There is no characterization of characters, just pure action and schematic portrait, which just put the feeling. Character development is taboo. However in the very depraved sense of humor, this book is hilarious with its craving to be something more and pathos, which is misplaced. Mix of real and fictitious characters does not work either. I was surprised by relatively few historic mistakes, but they were just nerdish so no important.
Obersturmbannfuhrer von Dodenberg is a man, who is model SS officer and soldier and ultimate male dressed in fancy uniform often misunderstood by his superiors and every chic craves for him. Oh yes and he is also smart and the best from the rest, plus loved by his soldiers. He smoked out invasion at Normandy, but nobody cared for his warnings. Then shit broke and he was saving what he could. He had two crazy non commissioned officers who were pair of crazy foul mouthed fellows who were as brave as horny. Oh yes and one had just one leg, but it did not stop him from making troubles.
