'SS General' (original title: 'SS-Generalen') is a novel by the Danish writer Sven Hassel. It was first published in 1960 and has been translated in many languages.

Written in the first person, 'SS-General' is based on the adventures of a group of German penal battalion soldiers in the Battle of Stalingrad. The book describes their escape from the Stalingrad siege under the leadership of a fanatical Brigadefhrer of the Waffen-SS. Like all Sven Hassel's books it contains graphic descriptions of war's brutality, as well as elements of military humor.[https://www.amazon.co.uk/Legion-Damned-Cassell-Military-Paperbacks/dp/0304366315 Sven Hassel, 'Legion of the Damned']
