It gets overshadowed by the Richard-Saladin brawl in the Levant, but this might have been the largest battle of the Third Crusade. It also featured the Crusaders sacking the capital of a powerful Muslim caliphate. Which to my knowledge never happened before or after.

The capture of Belgrade is hands down my favorite battle in history.
7 men and a drunk tourist captured a city of 200,000+ people. You couldn't make this shit up.

It's funny because the Yugoslav front quickly turned into a gigantic guerrilla war quagmire for the Germans. That "cakewalk" sure turned into a mess quick.
Elijah Kelly
cool, I never knew we got to actually shoot russian commies

The Allied expeditions to Russia during the RUssian Civil War were pretty much a giant clusterfuck. They got there, had no real orders on what to do, sat around, periodically got shot at, then eventually were ordered to leave, having accomplished nothing besides giving the Bolsheviks a huge propaganda boost by letting them claim that they drove off the Western invaders.

Nader Shah was quite underrated.

The brave Estonian SS defending against the vermin russians.
The first battle might seem ridiculous but that's literally how it went for a few weeks: Russians zerg rushing hills and running into Estonian gun fire. 170 000 casualties on Russian side and 10 000 on Estonian.
Just how incredible is that?

The single biggest factor is that they had considerably better armor (mail, but heavier and better designed mail) than you'd see just about anywhere else.
