I must have heard wrong, Jacob. BUT here are some links...Still don't know which of the battles lost the most Americans...Battle of the Bulge or the Battle of Manila...or... Some of the places I find combine dead, wounded and missing or taken as prisoners all in the same total. See below...the one shown is about 123,000 men killed, injured, or missing. In one battle.

Of the American soldiers, there were 81,000 casualties, 23,554 captured, and 19,000 killed. Germany's losses included 100, 000 men who were either killed, wounded, or captured.
