    This is true.
    The Red Army was the largest in the world, and the Wehrmacht were not small...

    Hi im new here, I think that the bloodiest battle in the pacific was Okinawa, though im not too sure. On some pacific atolls the americans took only a few dozen prisoners out of a garrisons of several thosand and the japanese didn't retreat off of the islands either, another high death rate battle was the ss's attempt to break the soviet siege of a german city in 1945 (cant think of name right now), where 19,000 men out of around 25,000 were killed (not wounded).

    Okinawa was indeed the bloodiest land battle in the Pacific. And that's not counting the 4900 dead the US Navy suffered during that time.

    Wrong.
    The mutiny in the french army occured in 1917 after the desastrous offensive in the Champagne(Chemin des dames).
    Many soldiers just refused to go on with those suicidal attacks.

    Nothing to do with Verdun.
