The Square Peg

A hapless road repairman from Britain finds himself embroiled in a series of absurd events after being mistakenly parachuted into Nazi-occupied France, where his uncanny resemblance to the local German commander leads to a series of chaotic misunderstandings.

Two council workers, Norman and Mr. Grimsdale, unexpectedly find themselves drafted into the military after a run-in with a sergeant. They're sent to France to repair roads, but their mission takes a turn when they're captured. However, Norman seizes an opportunity to impersonate a high-ranking general, earning him a hero's welcome back home.
