This is basically the setting of Gravity’s Rainbow.

Low-key, you could claim that about nearly anything and nobody would/could really challenge you for Gravity's Rainbow
See also, Finnegan's Wake. For instance, here's a nonsense claim that sounds plausible: Finnegan's Wake is the best book about the Irish Civil War. You feel the frenzy and delirium of the lucid somnambulism that comes with insomnia on the battlefield. As foggy and vivid as war, the words carefully balance the interregnum between the forbidden, forgotten and forsaken laid bare as poetry. The deconstruction of the language is married with the deconstruction of life as belligerents kill over conflicting dreams.

The middle third or so of GR describes a fairly lucid plot in which the characters are traversing Germany during its final disintegration at the end of WW2 and the beginning of the Allied occupation.

As does Finnegan's Wake.
