It's also a major hole to think the Germans would give up all that ground in an attempt of a surprise attack.
It's also a major hole to think there was a motorized convoy crossing occupied/no man's land type areas.
It's not that kind of movie.
But the script does a pretty good job of explaining why these two were picked for the task.

The first indicator is the fact that they choose a blood relative of one of the 1,600.
The second indicator is they let him choose a person of equal rank to partner with.
The third indicator is the commissioned officer warning the messenger that he should give his message with more than one as an audience. Because the likelihood of his message being ignored was very high.
Another indicator is the dogfighting that is shown in parts of the film.
This doesn't mean there aren't any holes in the story. There definitely are if you want to pick it apart, but they did a good job of providing enough context to justify the story. It's more a story about people, than war itself. A (surprisingly) cogent post ! 😉 I agree.

They actually provide more of an explanation for the way the mission is executed but it would give away spoilers.

My wife and I saw it yesterday. It is a cross between a movie and a video game and shot that way on purpose. The way it is shot is exactly the way video games are put together. The primary 2 characters are almost never off screen except to view surroundings through their eyes. There is very little dialog, and no complex sub plots. The prime characters have to figure out how to get from point A to point B. Along the way they have to figure out the best way around or through obstacles. Think of each challenge they faced as another level to be defeated before going on to the next level of a video game. They get assistance from a few people along the way and during parts of the movie they are literally finding their way through a maze like in a video game while being chased by Germans.
It was a great movie. On many levels very simple, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
