I just watched this movie recently and had the same question once the ending was revealed (that he was simply hallucinating as he was dying). If *none* of that post-war stuff really happened to him, how would he have hallucinated about the drug experiment? He'd never known about it. Unless it was a complete hallucinatory fabrication of his own mind.
And then, of course, it becomes even *less* interesting.
It's sad that this otherwise unsettling, excellent film left me with that weird plot hole/gap.
This plot hole always drove me nuts too and I feel it would have probably just been a better movie if it didn't have the ending. But then again the movie is actually very effective in generating suspense and atmosphere so it's tought to judge for sure.
