I have read "Die Festung" and must say that this could hardly be transformed into a movie as it is just a series of diary writings of L.G. Buchheim. There is no single plot but a changing of scenes and times and all that written in Buchheim's style who describes everthing with accuracy and details.(If Buchheim describes a tree, he describes every single leave.
To cut out the single stories like the Submarine travel will give only another U-Boot movie.
The author himself offered the book to producer Bernd Eichinger for a movie but Eichinger refused it because it is too much stuff and too detailed.

Regards,

Dirk
