For the incredible story of how 20,000 Roman soldiers were defeated by Germanic forces in a forest, check out this YouTube documentary. It really is an amazing story.

Doesn't seem that incredible to me. Varus, the Roman commander, ignored warnings from other Germanic allies that Arminius planned to betray the Romans and two legions marched strait into an ambush. Constricted by the terrain, the Romans could not fight as disciplined units as they normally would in a set piece battle. Instead, the tribes struck and sliced up the legions in transit, and kept hacking away until nothing remained.
