If you could witness any battle.

Which battle would you witness. Assuing you are effectively a ghost and could travel back in time.

For me it would be the battle of Kursk, 1943.

Why would anyone want to witness such human suffering?

I'd be much to busy anyway as a ghost - talking to Physic Sally, making creaking sounds in dodgy reality TV shows etc.

The battle of Cannae from the second punic war.

Hannibal's carthaginian army destroyed a far greater roman force in what is regarded both as one of the greatest tactical feats in military history and as one of the worst defeats in Roman history.

Either that or the battle of Sekhigahara in Japan which set up the Tokugawa shogunate a dynasty which lasted for the next 200 odd years.

I was thinking Kursk when I saw the subject line. Epic.
