I don't mean to pick on you, I would never do that. However I strongly disagree with you, and this statement.

These divisions fought on the Western Front, against the Allies: 1st SS "LAH", 2nd SS "Das Reich", 12th SS "Hitlerjugend", Panzer Lehr, 21st Panzer Division, 116th Panzer Division "Windhund", 3rd Fallschirmjager Division, 352nd Infantry Division, etc. All were considered, if not elite, top notch divisions. All fought with bravery and determination, against incredible odds, IMO.

My pick for the bloodiest? The Battle of Kharkov, 1942.
