I really dislike Hollywood war movies. They always present this war as a picnic, where the superior allies are invincible against the weak Germans. If that was so, why did the war lasted almost 6 years instead of six months?
The answer is that the German Army was always more professional and accurate, despite being outnumbered. With "Forgotten Battle", we got to see the point of view from a Dutch soldier who volunteered to join the Wehrmacht, especially because the German occupation provided economic opportunities. So the Dutch were quite divided, and we see that dilemma in the father of the main character. A medical doctor who works for both sides, since he sees people for what they are.
So it is a very nice movie, that reminds us that good and bad people are on both sides of the front. Never celebrate wars, because they make decent people to lose their morals and ethics.
