I found it quite entertaining. It could be considered a historical piece at best (an a-historical story set against a historical backdrop). There were many historical references in the movie that made sense. References to Vichy, Italy, and Sicily. Some that did not. A reference to a Parisian dying in the blitz. Maybe he was in London on business? I liked the Kubelwagen. It looked quite authentic. If a person living in occupied France was taking some serious hallucinogenic drugs continued to increase this use until the war was over they might describe the war this way.
