O autorovi

Hans Hellmut Kirst

Kirst, a World War II veteran, had his first success with the Gunner Asch series of novels. Published in German as the trilogy; "Band: 08/15 in der Kaserne, 1954", "Band: 08/15 im Krieg, 1954", and "Band: 08/15 bis zum Ende, 1955", and later followed up with the novels, "08/15 heute, 1963" and "08/15 in der Partei, 1978", they follow the career of a soldier from before World War II, to the Eastern Front, and finally to post-war Germany.

Other major novels by Kirst set during the Third Reich and World War II include; "Officer Factory" about the investigation into the death of a training officer in an Officer School near the end of World War II, "The Castle", "Camp Seven Next Stop", "The Fox of Maulen" and "The Nights of the Long Knives" . All of these novels were translated by J Maxwell Brownjohn and show Kirst's unique blend of deadpan humour and devastating satire. Characters are often shown positioning themselves as outspoken ardent Nazis during the Third Reich era, and than being equally ardent in claiming to have been anti-Nazi -- and to be 100% pro-democracy or pro-communist, whichever is to their advantage -- after the end of the Nazi era. Kirst's non-World War II themed novels include; "The Sev...
