Movies and Films
This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>Meg,
I forgot to answer your question wether I had read the book "Die Festung" Well, I did'nt. Perhaps when it becomes available in our library I'll read it. I certainly will not buy it.
Crewmembers of U-Kater and other boats I met several times told me that the book tends to be a compilation of wishfull thinking, hearsay and lies. Not one of them was positive about it. So I guess this is one more reason to read it anyway so I can form my own opinion.
