It was supposed to be Hitler's glorious conquest of Russia...
The 27th Penal Regiment have been ordered to invade the Soviet Union. They are half-starved and ill-equipped. To reach Moscow they must defeat the fearsome Red Army.
But instead, they find themselves at the mercy of an even deadlier enemy: the killer cold of the Russian winter.
As they advance across the icy wastes, they think only of survival.

Hassel's books of war are the most powerful I have ever read
Sven Hassel is one of the best European novelists around, with a flair for excitement that has few equals--STAFFORDSHIRE EVENING STANDARD
In essence this is an expose of the absurdity of war, and a moving plea for peace. As such, it takes its rank with far milder books, such as ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT--NEWSDAY
He is graphic, at times brilliantly so, but never brutal or bitter. He is, too, a first-rate storyteller--WASHINGTON POST
BLITZFREEZE is a shocking insight into the realities of war, the conditions endured by ordinary soldiers and their unwavering solidarity.
