Default Is Ice Cold in Alex based on fact?

In the voice-over preamble to this great movie we are told that the story is true. Is there anybody out there who knows if that's right or where I could find out more?

The author of the novel on which the film was based,Christopher Landon, served with the 51st Field Ambulance in North Africa during WWII.

It is reasonable to assume the story is a composite of actual events he experienced or heard about.
