>> I have read that we lost more men in the battle of the bulge than in the entire Pacific campaign. I have no idea if that is right or not.

Good question.

Battle of the Bulge: 19,000 killed,47,500 wounded,23,000 captured.

Pacific war: 111,606 killed, 253,142 wounded, 21,580 POW.

So it appears that we did NOT lose more men in the BotB than in the Pacific campaign.

Thanks for that info. I probably should have looked it up myself at some time.
