LOS a Problem Maybe ?

Even with a basic, civilian orienteering course, one can determine generalized LOS from any position on a topographic map, whether you are there or not, usually with a cursory glance at the map.

In Holland, yes probably. It's flat as a pancake, however that brings it's own challenges to find features that are a few meters higher than the rest, especially if they're not man made.

In the rugged parts of the Ardennes? No way! I'm quite familiar with map reading, but I simply couldn't do it like some military commanders could, not even while I was there, let alone from a map only. It would turn out to be guess work among the high hills (see my other post)

As long as they are not Army level from the 1st US Army ...LOL
