I recently observed several (so called) documentaries about WW2. They mentioned the Battle of the Bulge as the tide turning battle that changed the course of the war. The Battle of the Bulge was stated to be the largest battle of WW2. Not to in any way take away from the allies merits - heroics who suffered enormous losses during the battle of the Bulge.
However some of the largest battles of WW2 never receive mention. Cases in point: the Battle for the Dnieper River and the Battle of Nava. Soviet losses can be hard to summarize precisely. However from my understanding the Soviet casualties during the battle for the Dnieper River may have been the highest in the war. The combined German and Soviet losses during the battle for Nava were enormous. When following the course of the war these struggles fail to receive mention. It’s like the Red Army goes from Stalingrad to Berlin in one fell swoop.
