This is the other version;

I concur with Stalingrad...Just watch "enemy behind the gates" and facinate yourself with the amount of corpses

Agincourt at 100 years wars  can be bloodis ar sword age  check this

hmm,

your sources above quote:

Wikipedia: Turks: 86,692
Ellis & Cox, World War I Databook ("Dardanelles"): Turks: 86,700

Where are you getting 345,000 from? 

...but yeah, I agree with you in that its definately more than 55,000

it says only 5,000 died at Agincourt.. there were way more battles that were bloodier, even in sword age..

Okay okay. By the way can we add the invasion of normandy at 6/6/1944

Turkish Military History Branch. I know a Major there. He told me that the registered number of KIAs was 55.000. However the uncounted fors' are more than that. And how can you explain this; 510.000 soldiers went to Gallipoli only 130.000 of them got out for service again?

at Salsu, there were 300,000 casualties on the Sui side alone..

Sui invaded Koguryo with 1.138 million men but the navy was destroyed, the army couldn't take Laiodong, all the while they were low on supplies, so they sent 305,000 of them straight to Pyungyang. who then died, and only few thousand went back.

there ya go.. most casualties in sword era so far

Hmmm thanks alot to every one

You ever heard of the wounded/injured, casualties from disease, lost (ie unknown whether survived or not), captives and others?

I think the Normandy thing posted on page 1 is Normandy Campaign, not Normandy landing - during the landing the Americans only took 2000 KIA's.

i always thought the largest casulties were at the time of the Mongols somewhere in china

i will try to get the battel name

I think that Stalingrad.

Cannae for Sword era in Occident.

In Orient, I/Eye said Koguryo vs Sui, that

Those casualties are for 1941-1945... total civilian casualties at Leningrad were about 1.6 million.  You probably meant it as so, but I just wanted to clear it up.

Casualties between both sides are at around 1.1 million..German casualties are easier to pin down, and including those who died in Soviet camps, the deaths are around 300,000.  (taking in mind reinforcements, and wounded)

Battles of the western front during WW2 were nothing when compared to those of eastern front. The truth is that Wehrmacht fell in the east, despite americans are trying to take credit from the fall of Germany. Forget the Normandy if you want to talk about bloody battles. Stalingrad and Leningrad were much bloodier.

Someone wanted to know what happened on the east at the russian front when the Normandy campaign started. Russians started at the same time their own camaign because allies wanted to have pressure on the east also. Stalin decided that their campaign would aim to total destruction and conquer of Finland and Finnish army. Most of the Russian artillery and their best elite troops (guards divisions) were sended to Karelian peninsula. They started massive artillery barrages and wave assaults against unprepared Finns. Two first defensive lines were utterly crushed but the third (an the last) held. In the massive battle of Tali-Ihantala Soviets were soundly beaten and their campaign to invade Finland was ended disastrously. Battle of Tali-Ihantala was largest in the history of northern europe so the June/July of 1944 was not very funny for the soviets either.

The battle of Cannae was a major death shot for the ancient days. The Roman troops were slaughtered by Carthage's armies. I am not sure, but I think about 60,000 people died.

In the 1800's, during the Crimean War, Tsar Nicholas thought that Russia was the most powerful nation in the World, but at a battle during the war. The Tsar's armies were masacred by French and England's troops which were superior in technology.

Lepanto--October 7, 1571.

Ottoman Turks lost upwards of 30,000 men in one day, and the majority of their 200+ ships were sunk, burned, or captured.

And they never really recovered from that.

I very much doubt that. First off, most agree that there WERE 100,000 soldier sin the Persian army, and I very much doubt that all of them were killed. The Battle of Gaugamela was a much larger battle, where Darius sized up an army 4 times the size of Alexanders (putting it t a 160,000 men at a minimum, but I've heard people say over 200,000). Of course, not even here everyone was killed, but I'm sure a great deal of persians were slaughtered. Especially since they fled after Darius did.
