Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })French publisher Gerfaut published a collection of war romans de gare from the 1960s to the 1980s. All of them were written by French and Spanish writers who used German-sounding (sometimes Russian-sounding) pseudonyms. Enrique Sánchez Pascual is one of the best known, using the alias "Karl von Vereiter", and he is also known for writing nazisploitation fiction.The largest number of these novels, by far, take place during World War II, on the Eastern Front more specifically, from Operation Barbarossa (the German invasion of USSR in June 1941) to the fall of Berlin in May 1945, although other settings of the war such as North Africa and Asia and the Pacific are also used, as well as the 1950s Indochina War. The Holocaust also shows up here and there.Pulp influences are noticeable, and Artistic License – History and Artistic License – Military range from believable to plain ludicrous, very much in the same vein as the likes of Sven Hassel. There are about six hundred books in total.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anyone Can Die: The stories often feature a squad of soldiers as protagonists. By the end, one or several of them will be dead.

Rape as Drama

comment
Rape as Drama: A great many female protagonists (mostly German war auxiliaries, Eastern European civilians and secret agents of both sides) end up victims of rape. And some of them take revenge.

"Join the Army," They Said: When new German recruits arrive on the front, they realize the huge gap between what propaganda told them and the grim reality they are now facing.

Hopeless War: The closer the novels get to May 1945, the more hopeless the war is for German soldiers.

Ms. Fanservice: Whenever there are female protagonists or at least women who play important parts in the novels, expect them to be featured on the cover this way. Here's a perfect example◊.

Armchair Military: German or Soviet soldiers alike often talk about their superiors sending them in foolish and pointless offensives as Cannon Fodder.
