Beyond a doubt it was the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 - February 1943). The Axis suffered about 740,000 dead and wounded and a further 110,000 men taken prisoner. The Soviet Union suffered about 750,000 soldiers killed plus about 40,000 civilian dead. It is widely believed that it was the bloodiest battle ever.
