Oh jeez that made me feel queasy just thinking about that Is that why they have the blood skins with the Roman descriptions on them?
It was part of them last year Make love not war event.
Sure that during WWs more people died during battles but it took weeks/months. You won't find more bloody battle in modern histroy where 70 000 die in few hours.
D-day was nothing.
Just imagine that during battle between Rome and Carthage at Kannes - 70 000 died in few hours.
Or battle between Rome and Huns (Catalaunian Plains). There were some many dead bodies that ground had turned into mud because of amount of blood.
