What was the worst battle in World War II?

The Battle of Stalingrad was an important turning point in the Second World War. In this battle, the Soviet army suffered 6,543.8+0,000 casualties, and this victory was bought at the cost of blood. It was the turning point of World War II, and Stalingrad's name was: the wall of flesh and blood. This battle was the worst in World War II.

No matter from what angle, the Battle of Stalingrad is one of the most tragic battles in the history of World War II and even human war. The whole campaign lasted 199 days. Due to the huge scale of the campaign, the number of casualties has never been accurately counted. In the final stage of the campaign, the Germans still dealt a heavy blow to the Soviet Red Army. At the same time, the Soviet Red Army almost wiped out the German Sixth Army (8th, 1 1, 5 1 Infantry Army and 14 Armored Army) and the Fourth Armored Army (4th Army) with a ratio of 2 1. 14, 16, 24th armored division, 44th, 7th, 76th, 79th, 94th, 100,13,295,297. Second and thirtieth smoke emitter regiments; The 4th, 46th, 64th and 70th artillery regiments; The 54th, 6th16th, 627th and 849th artillery battalions; 49th, 10 1, 733rd heavy artillery battalion; No.6, 4 1 light industry barracks). Western scholars estimate that the Axis forces suffered 850,000 casualties in this battle, including 750,000 casualties and 9 1 0,000 captured. The Soviet Union estimated that 6.5438+0.5 million Axis troops would be wiped out. Either way, the statement that the Germans lost the south wing of the Eastern Front 1/4 in the Battle of Stalingrad has been recognized by most people. The failure of the Battle of Stalingrad made the Germans regard launching the later Battle of Kursk as their last hope to regain the initiative in the Soviet-German battlefield, but they completely lost the strategic initiative in the Soviet-German battlefield, as General Zeitzler, the German Chief of Staff, said: "We lost 250,000 officers and men in Stalingrad, which is equivalent to breaking the backbone in the entire eastern front battlefield." At the same time, the Soviet Union also paid a heavy price. The specific casualties of the Soviet army were: 47,4871person died, 650,878 people were injured or captured, and the total casualties were 1 1296 19. In just 1 week after the German invasion of this city, more than 40,000 Soviet citizens were killed. There is no accurate statistics on the number of civilian deaths in the whole campaign, but it can be said that it far exceeds this figure. In this campaign, the losses of the Soviet Red Army still exceeded those of the Germans. The difference is that the Germans were eliminated by the whole system and their combat effectiveness no longer exists. It is impossible for the new troops to form combat effectiveness without a period of training; The surplus troops of the Soviet Red Army can replenish new recruits, bring the old with the new, and quickly form combat effectiveness. Moreover, it is difficult for German personnel to supply materials, and the supply speed and quantity of the Soviet Red Army far exceed that of Germany. As a result, Germany's strength weakened.
