hi, in strategic and ultimate outcome terms, d-day is most important. id say battle of the Bulge is less important. imho.
The battle of the bulge was just 1 battle but their was several operations during the battl of the bulge
When? If you are referring to World War II, the whole war was a series of major battles. Two of the battles were the Battle of the Bulge and the battle for Stalingrad but there were many, many more of equal importance.
It is believed that close to 600,000 Americans fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
The Germans had taken so many tanks and other armored vehicles from other zones of battle, which were ultimately lost in the Battle of the Bulge. There was no hope of ever replacing these vehicles and manpower that was lost. They could have been used in a fighting retreat that would have cost many more Allied lives and additional months of battle.
Never thought about it before, but there are similarities. The Allies called it the Battle of the Bulge, but to the Germans it was the Ardennes Offensive. The Battle of the Bulge was the largest offensive which the Germans ever launched against the US in WW2, and Tet was the largest offensive mounted against the US by North Vietnam. Both caused initial panic, produced high casualties, and were eventually defeated. Marines defending Khe Sanh were surrounded like the 101st Airborne which had defended Bastogne. Of course, Tet was more of a surgical strike than the Bulge, and it was an unintentional propaganda success because its news images horrified the American public and convinced many that US involvement had been a mistake. If such news coverage had been possible (and allowed) during the Battle of the Bulge, its effect on the home front can only be speculated today.

Could you be more specific, but yes there was one

About 50,000 initially died but more could of died due to the battle. This is because, around 29,000 Germans were either captured or missing and this could increase the German death toll for the Battle of the Bulge.
One that comes to mind for me is The Battle of the Bulge. It was Germany's last bold offensive; then wanted to keep the allies from pushing onward into the Motherland. See the below link for more info on the Battle of the Bulge.
It was known as the Battle of the Bulge, for more details see related links.
The Germans held up the Allied advance for a week or more in the Battle of the Bulge, but ultimately it made little difference to the outcome of WWII. (NovaNet answer) slow the Allied invasion of Germany
No battle was more important.
