Ok, I'm taking nominations for the subject above - what do you think were the greatest defensive battles of the Twentieth Century? I'm specifically referring to battles where the enemy attack is repelled with the least amount of loss by the defending side. I'll kick things off - the Allied victory at the Battle of Medenine, March 6th 1943. Rommel attacks Monty in Tunisia. Monty spanks his butt and kicks him back with nothing to show for it apart from 52 blazing German tanks and a lot of dead infantry.
Any other submissions?
