i can not believe some reviewer find this film plausible . admittedly the book be little well . in fact the plot be nutty . consider just three point represent ( a ) medieval church at the centre of english village be anglican and not roman catholic and ( b ) how come the village only have 15 inhabitant . and ( c ) why do the british military people continue to drive the fake churchill to the manor house even when they know there be german paratrooper in the village . many reviewer have point out other ludicrous aspect . the early part of the film also go way over the top in it laboured effort to show u that michael caine and co be non nazi and honourable german . ( in the event and so honourable that caine be prepare to shoot churchill in cold blood and even though he realise that hitler regime be evil and the war be lose . ) how assassinating churchill be mean to help matter be more than obscure . could anybody really think it would lead the ally to drop the demand for germany unconditional surrender and go for a negotiated peace instead . hokum and pure sloppily construct hokum .
