Usage of nice rural shots in the movie should not fool the viewer to think this was all the same in all countries. It wasn't.
Germans used double standards on occupied territories during WW2.
On the West, like france or holland, germans kept their appearances of civilized nation, and treated deportees quite fine, providing passenger trains for them for transportation. They were given food and water for the length of the journey.
On the East however, like poland or russia, germans didn't keep their mask on, and treated deportees with brutality, herded them into cattle trains sometimes up to 150 people in one car. Often no food and water were given so when train arrived at destination, many people were dead.
Therefore viewer of movie like Le Train should make an effort to learn about history, instead of treating this move as historical one. German's occupation of france was child's play comparing to poland's occupation. French people were not hunted like Jews were.
