The battle of Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. It was fought in sub zero temps, more soldiers suffered from exposure, either died or lost limbs, than died from battle wounds. temps -20 to -30 below and battle lasted about a week. The Chinese suffered far worse. Reports vary but from what I have read, about 1200 battle casualties for US (UN), 7000 non battle casualties! Chinese losses are estimates, but I have seen some estimates as high as 10X that of the US(UN).
