    The US 3rd Infantry Division sustained the most KIA casualties of any US division in war. Which division had the second most KIAs?

    Without looking it up, probably the 28th ID (aka "The Bloody Bucket" Division) seeing as how they suffered through Ohama beach, then Hurtgen Forest, then the Ardennes Offensive.

    I'm probably wrong here, but is it the 9th Infantry Division?

    EDIT: Is the assistant divisional commander you're talking about Brig. Gen. Kenneth Buchanan?

    Was Brig. Gen. Kenneth Buchanan the son of President Buchanan?

    He was the ADC of the 1st ID under Terry de la Mesa Allen, but the 1st ID was not the US division I was asking about. TR, Jr was also the ADC of another division, in another theater.

    Everybody make a mad scramble to google...

    Then it would be the one who suffered the third most (total) casualties...22,660, and that would be the 4th ID.
    top (head losers) ten totals
    25,997-3rd
    23,277-9th
    22,660-4th
    20,993-45th
    20,659-1st
    19,466-36th
    19,200-90th
    18,446-30th
    17,087-80th ?

    4th ID is correct. Yes, they were third in total casualties, but #2 in KIAs.

    3rd --4922
    4th --4097
    9th --3856
    1st --3616
    36th --3131
    45th --3547
    90th --3342

    I want to say Chikuma, but also the Kongo, since it wasn't put out of action in Samar. Yamato sure didn't do very much, since it turned away from the battle to escape torpedoes. I think it was a heavy cruiser that put the Gambier Bay out of action, but I can't find anywhere to verify that.
    ​

    So, I'll choose Chikuma, final answer.

    I have Chikuma down for beating up the Heerman and contributing to the Gambier Bay.
    Kongo hit Hoel with 2-14",
    Roberts with several of all types,
    and gave the "Coup de Grace" to both Johnston & Gambier Bay.
    Close enough, Your go

    OK, here I go:

    There were two German Motorized Infantry Divisions in General Paulus' 6th Army that were involved in the seige of Stalingrad between September 14-22, 1942. What were they?

    Hint: Both were lost in the seige and reconstituted later on.

    Yes, the 3rd and 29th were used. Correct.

    MISTAKE: Looking closer, I saw that there were three (Correct me if I'm wrong) motorized infantry divisions, the 29th, the 3rd, and the 60th. I had not previously heard of the 3rd before until now. I also thought they were part of the XX Corps. I really need to back up my sources. :eek:
