He joined the Danish merchant marine when he was 20, and a year later moved to Germany. He eventually wound up in the German army--it's not clear if he was drafted or if he enlisted, even though he was not a German citizen--and served in a tank unit in 1939 during the German invasion of Poland. In 1940 he attempted to desert the army and make his way back to Denmark, but was caught by German military police, court-martialed and sentenced to serve in a "Sonderabteilung", a penal battalion consisting of convicted criminals, deserters and other soldiers the military authorities considered expendable) and sent to the Russian front.--in effect, a death sentence. He served with a variety of tank units, was wounded several times and eventually attained the rank of lieutenant. He received the Iron Cross for bravery in combat. As the war came to a close and the German military began to fall apart, Hassel surrendered to Soviet troops in Berlin in 1945. He spent several years in Russian POW camps before being released. During his time in the camps he began to write stories of his experiences up to that time, and after his release in 1949 he was able to get some of them published.
He was planning to join the French Foreign Legion in 1951 when he met and married a German woman, and instead of fighting for the Legion, he got a job in an automobile factory. In 1957 he suffered a recurrence of an illness he contracted during the war and was paralyzed for two years. After he recovered he began to write more books, and eventually had a successful career as a novelist.
