German casualties during the three-days long battle of Brenschelbach (10.09.1939 - 12.09.1939):

60 killed, 157 wounded, 11 missing

Casualties of French 21. Infantry Division in period 08.09.1939 - 15.09.1939:

KIA & MIA - 80 (4 officers); WIA - 249 (8 officers)

These heavy casualties clearly show that the war there wasn't as "phoney" as is often considered.

This has been a very helpful thread! I've recently acquired a Wehrpass from a soldier who was killed while a member of 5 komp./I.R. 80, 34th I.D., on 9.10.39. (Volksbund says 8.10.39). He's buried in the Altfriedhof in Saarlouis-Fraulautern
