I've seen the film (on TV). The names in the film were fictious, but the situations shown were quite likely.There was a 1995 movie made about the camp, "The Brylcreem Boys", with Gabriel Byrne, which featured those details you just described. I believe it's available on DVD or video.
Here is the link on the film, it shows that the film is available on video.
