Fionn Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 No, his books ( and he) are fake. He was pretty much discounted as a bit of a faker and was even tried by a court in Denmark for impersonating a German officer during the war . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 and was even tried by a court in Denmark for impersonating a German officer during the war By Germans themselves. And, apparently, when the Germany surrendered and the Danes rushed in to free the prisoners, they saw him in a cell and locked the door again. (He had been an informer for the Germans). - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't have the url handy and to tell the truth, I'm not interested in searching it again. Too depressing.) However, given that I've read one Hassel's interview where he claimed that all events in his books have really happened to him, I tend to believe the worst of him. I don't object with a person writing WWII fiction, but when someone rips scenes word-to-word from other books and claims that they are his own experiences, I'm disgusted. - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
