Not to get into a pizzing match but from checking actual facts I feel the 4th Inf. Div. had
about the roughest time of all Inf. Divisions in all theatres. In their time of combat, from June '44 till wars end (less than a year) they had 22,660 battle casualties. Yes, fewer "days of combat", but among the 3 highest battle casualties in all theatres. My hat goes off to these guys and little is said about them.. True, such as the outfit I served with (3rd Inf) had the most batle casualties. But in a longer period of time. But did
anyone see a movie or T.V. series about them ? Seems damn strange.
