Answer 3

Iwo Jima was the bloodiest for the size definitely. Guadalcanal, Okinawa, most of the Marine battles for Pacific islands were extremely bloody, especially given the small area. On the Western Front the Bulge was the worst. The entire Eastern Front was a bloodbath; Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kursk.

Answer 4

Three of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of World War II--the D-Day landing at Omaha Beach, the Battle of Kursk and the Battle of the Bulge--are examined on the History Channel's three-hour "Hell's Battlefield Marathon" Sunday at 8 p.m.

Companies were shattered in the human tragedy that developed in "Omaha Beach-- Eight Hours of Defeat," where shocking losses and failures took place before

At Kursk, the Russians beat the Germans, which led to Hitler's loss of the Eastern Front. It was a 50-day battle of might with the Germans lining up 900,000 soldiers, 2,700 tanks, 2,000 planes and 10,000 pieces of artillery. The Russians assembled 1.3 million soldiers, 3,600 tanks, 2,400 planes and 20,000 pieces of artillery to counter the German Panzer thrusts.

At the Bulge, Hitler mustered every able-bodied man to crash through U.S. lines and take Antwerp, Belgium. The attack was fierce, and the harsh winter of 1944 added to the problems of the allied forces fighting, at times, for survival before handing Hitler his final major defeat.

Answer 10

Any battle involving the Japanese and the Marines/Navy in the South Pacific.

Quit with the insults. English is NOT his first language. I'll bet he speaks it a hell of a lot better than you speak his.
I'm too ticked off to continue - aren't you lucky,
