Which World War 2 battle was most significant?

[Dixter]

Just bored, tell me what World War 2 battle you think was most significant and explain if you want to .

My vote: The Battle of Stalingrad

*However it's a close tie with the Battle of Kursk in my opinion*

 

[XxShallowxX]

I would think D-Day
It's the battle that most people remember, and a lot of American soldiers died in it, but they still won

 

[Sharp]

D-Day would be most significant in America..
To me it would be Battle of Berlin

 

[Peroxide]

Siege of Leningrad

 

[Paxton]

Stalingrad for me

How about world war I? Cause thats the war us canadian OWNED in,

Battle of Vimi Ridge each canadian soldier killed an average of 11 enemies.

And 90% of the deaths were in hand to hand combate.

Now thats pawnage.

^ye u bastards are merciless animals.

stalingrad was the great turn, weird place to ask this btw

D-day is most significant for Americans yea, but a lot of people have no idea about other battles cuz of Hollywood, it's sad. Just to give you an idea there were probably around 300,000 soldiers involved in D-day and a maximum of about 20,000 casualties, and it lasted one day. The Battle of Stalingrad lasted about 7 and a half months and had about 3 million soldiers involved, and saw about 2 million casualties. It was also the first major and large scale defeat of the German army, on land.

Sure D-Day was popularized by America's Hollywood. But it's also considered the turning point in WWII. I'd say the only other notable day was when Germany postponed attacking England to turn on Stalin. Which was their major downfall in reality.

Invation of Poland, started the hole damn thing.

If Germany didn't invade USSR June 1941, they would probable have more then enough troppes to fight back the invation, or take over the british islands. Invation of Africa was also a bad move by the Germans. D-Day is not one fight btw, if we can voet on operations I'd say Operation Barbarossa.

Mmm I'm afraid that's incorrect, D-day was not in any way, shape, or form the turning point of World War 2, that title belongs to the Battle of Stalingrad, and may also be attributed to the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Kursk. By the time D-day came, the Red Army was almost at the gates of Warsaw, well into Poland, and the German army was in full retreat. The reason so many Americans think D-day was the turning point of World War 2 is because of Hollywood I'm afraid, in reality by D-day it was already obvious that the Nazis would lose, it was only a matter of time.

Want to see ownage?

Battle of Kircholm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Battle of Kircholm between Poland and Sweden

Poland - 100 dead, 200 wounded
Sweden - 8,000 dead/wounded, 500 captured

Stick to thread, Stalingrad imo.

 

[Delirium]

The Battle of Crete - It was the key battle that stalled the Germans and forced them to attack Russia during winter, thus leading to their demise.

 

[JDB]

D-Day was significant. That's the one I believe makes the top three most important battle's.

 

[Filthy]

germany won the world war, guys you should all go back to your ldc and think about the things hitler did for germany in his time as leader:/ things people in africa can dream of + things which were far away for the rest of the world population until hitler opened your eyes

well, world war here, world war there... germany was the leading country before the world war and is leading now again

I don't think D-day would qualify for the top 3, it was significant, but it wasn't a turning point. The top three in my opinion are, the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, and The Siege of Leningrad or the Battle of Kursk.

 

[stian]

Russia would like been able to take nazi germans without the help of d-day, but with a much bigger loose.
