That’s about an event though so you’d expect that.Pretty much every war film/TV series ever made will use a "narrative device" to advance the story telling. The Battle of Britain film shows a love story between the squadron leader and a WAAF in fact all the portrayed pilots are fictional. Zulu portrays all the British soldiers as Welsh, this was not so. I could go on but the point is that the inclusion of a narrative device (in this case it is a "framing story") helps to bring the individual events into a coherent narrative. Without this device it might be that the story would simply appear to be collection of incidents. That would be fine for a documentary, this is not a documentary and shouldn't be judged as such.
I confess I haven't watched all of it yet and there are some bits that stand out as rather improbable, what I have found though is that most of those seemingly incredible events are actually true!
As that’s the difference this involves named individuals set in a real Historic period the missions are real the enemy was real so why make up a French love spy interest that simply is completely made up especially as she id key to the “whole plot”.
