Bloodiest single day indisputably the one day battle of Antietam.
Bloodiest battle, 3 day battle of Gettysburg (on a technicality).
Bloodiest two hours...who the hell could possibly know this one? This is the one that requires the stop watch. I'm just not buying this statistic at all.
I think peeps were making surmises after the battles about what probably occurred and if it was conducive propaganda-wise it got spewed out to the press.
I don't think war needs much embellishment.
It's horror is organic and no place for a pissing contest.
