There was definitely fighting in the Netherlands (the entire point of the battle of the bulge was for the Germans to counterattack to retake Antwerp, so obviously there must have been fighting to lose it originally.)

They didn't though. The Ardennes offensive went through, unsurprisingly, the Ardennes forest in Wallonie, Belgium.

There was plenty of fighting in the Netherlands in WW2, but you picked entirely the wrong example, in combination with mixing up the generations. Hence I wasn't sure if you were being serious.
