No. Made a great fantasy for a movie, but the story is based on a work of fiction. The German military had a large gun emplacement at Longues-sur-Mer in Normandy France- but that was not as large or as well protected as the guns in Navarone.

Navarone does not exist, it is actually the Greek island of Leros that staged the battle in WWII. Mcclean changed the name when he wrote 'The Guns Of Navarone'.
Loosely. The story is based on an actual event of the Second World War - the Battle of Leros.
It lasted 158 minutes.
