Münchhausen is framed as the telling of the diary of the baron, by the baron. Even moreso, he acknowledges the existence of a storybook telling the tale of the baron. By presenting the story as a storybook, it is somewhat less threatening to see the film as a story than as a truth. This is not to say that it is not the truth, but instead, it is a truth no one believes. By framing the truth as a farce, it is not presented as threat to the party itself and so the issues that can be alluded to (death marches, pro-jewish plays) and can be seen without threat.
