Die Kanonen von Navarone

The plot keeps the adrenaline high from start to finish, but I wonder how much of that was inspired by real WWII missions or purely fictional design.

The novel balances suspense with moments of internal conflict, and I’m curious if others felt the same connection to the characters’ struggles.

The rugged island landscape adds a lot of tension, but I'm wondering if the author intentionally chose this to reflect the themes of isolation and peril.
