''The Guns of Navarone'' is a novel by Creator/AlistairMacLean, published in 1957, and [[AdaptationDisplacement more famously]] a classic 1961 film adaptation directed by Carl Foreman. The events depicted take place during UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 but are [[HistoricalFiction entirely fictional.]] A contingent of British soldiers are stranded on an island in the Aegean Sea and rescue by ship is impossible due to the large battery of anti naval guns located at the cliffs of Navarone. Due to the embedded position of the guns in the cliffs, destroying them by air strikes proves impossible. A British major (Anthony Quayle) assembles a commando team and convinces a reluctant captain (Creator/GregoryPeck) to join. The movie chronicles the squad's attempt to sneak into Greece and blow the guns. Also stars Creator/DavidNiven and Creator/AnthonyQuinn.

Not only does Stevens stare at the German in utter incomprehension, when the man continues to give orders in English, the Lieutenant has the cheek to tell him (in Greek) that he doesn’t understand German and asks him to speak in his language.
