At Borodino (A Battle) in 1812 the French, fighting the Russians, lost 43 in 1 day !(As well as 110 colonels). I'm sure that answer to your question is WW2.

The most important Civil War generals were General Ulysses S. Grant for the North and General Robert E. Lee for the South.
In three words: Northern military incompetence. The Union had a few good generals, Grant most notably, but most of the Union generals were outclassed by the Confederate generals. The North held every advantage in this war except for a surplus of competent generals.
Although not generally reported to the men in the field by name, high ranking US officers believed that some NVA generals may have been killed during B-52 strikes. General Giap, one of the few NVA generals fairly common to most US servicemen, due to his reputation during the French War, as well as the siege at the Marine Corps base at Khe Sanh; definitely survived the war & definitely would have been reported as killed...if he had been.
