Kursk
World War II.
Basically, a million Russians squared off against about a million Germans in a field over a few days. Each soldier on each side knew that it was a battle to the death. Neither side took prisoners. Imagine what that must have felt like? Knowing that you were pretty much assured to die.
At the end of the day, a few Russians were still standing, so there were the victors.
The Russians lost more that single battle than the United States has ever lost in every war it has ever fought combined. Something to think about.
