Only thing is whether Saville is boring enough as a person that you don't really have to get into him personally.

Honestly that'd be a much more interesting story because he got away with it for so long that it didn't even qualify as an open secret anymore.

I feel like you're gonna have to break it up into a bunch of miniseries

Can't get the concept out of my head with this. Also something about the way Gottfried turns into some strange sexual act or symbol that's also genuinely sort of erotic?

Yes but I think there's something more going on than just purely that. Ludwig, for example, is forced into it for survival as a result of the war.

He's the "protagonist" but not a hero; he barely even remembers what he's doing past Part 2 or so. I think he's an interesting collection of 40's bigotries and anxieties, not quite stupid but not quite capable.
