Death's Head (1974) By Leo Kessler
 
SS Assault Battalion Wotan, the toughest troops in Europe, are to spearhead a whole new theater of war. Not to the West, but now to the East. Von Dodenburg, Schulze, Schwarz, and the unwavering Vulture fight their way into winter's iron claws at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa: Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union. This is the sixth gritty installment in Leo Kessler's fictional series The Dogs of War.
 
Charles Whiting was one of the leading figures of the British paperback industry and its 1970s boom in novels drenched in violence and sex. His best-known books were published under the name Leo Kessler and featured the Assault Regiment Wotan, Hitler’s hand-picked SS battle group, described by Kessler as “the elite unit of the German Wehrmacht, to be thrown into any battle as a last desperate measure to redress the balance”.
 
The stars of the books were savage teenage veterans whose sole loyalties were to their comrades, commander and weapons. They fought ferociously against overwhelming odds for a cause already long lost, and the action was graphic and violent.
