    The Dutch war film, The Forgotten Battle (De Slag om de Schelde - Netflix 2020) was a pretty good effort at showing the war from a Canadian perspective. With Hollywood nowhere in sight. 🇨🇦🇬🇧

    The Shadow in My Eye (aka The Bombardment on Ntflx) is a recent #Danish film built around an event in WW2. The Forgotten Battle (Ntflx) is a recent #Dutch film built around an event in WW2. The perspectives of these two films are long overdue. Clumsy fatal mistakes contrast the occasional joy.

    there's a movie about it, "The Forgotten Battle" though it's mostly from the Brit's and Dutch perspective, the Canadian forces are a cameo at best

    It's the Canadians who liberated the Netherlands in 1944/1945. They suffered terrible losses. The Dutch welcomed them with flowers, of course. The film 'The Forgotten Battle' about the battle of the Schelde is on Netflix.

    Great art deserves to be shared. I stumbled upon a WWII movie on Netflix called The Forgotten Battle. Told via 3 interwoven stories, the movie focuses on the Battle of the Scheldt, one of Canada's key contributions to the war.A+ Here's the trailer, if you're curious. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTUV...

    If you’re looking for a movie, The Forgotten Battle on Netflix is about the last days of the Nazi occupation of Holland. Gives a harrowing sense of what it’s like living under totalitarian rule. Saw it early in the 2024 campaign when Trump was getting his legs and it really freaked me out.

    Hardly ever review or recommend a movie, but if you're tired of doom scrolling dystopian daily events, how 'bout a bloody WWII movie? I watched a Dutch film about the liberation of Antwerp called The Forgotten Battle, and was blown away. Dialog is in English and German, and it's really well done.

    I wouldn’t call it comfort watching, but I stumbled upon a fantastic World War II movie called The Forgotten Battle on Netflix. Well worth the time.

    "The Forgotten Battle". A harrowing, realistic film, and when it ended, I just kind of stared as the credits rolled. A movie that's more than glitz or action or vapid entertainment. War is more sad than anything, for both sides. #movies. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

    Watching this Dutch war movie The Forgotten Battle on Netflix and the scenes from the German perspective are supposed to elicit an emotional response but I'm just sitting here like "lol lmao even ahahaha" every time a German gets blown up.

    remembered we have Netflix, and watched The Forgotten Battle (2021) pretty good non-hollywood WW2 movie, and one that isn't Normandy - nothing too standout tho, cliche characters 5.5/10 Black Hawk Down (2001) yeah, you can tell this came out just after 9/11 3/10
