Don't have it for all of January, but 3-16 January was 239 KIA, 1,042 WIA, and 1,199 MIA.Geoffrey Cooke wrote: ↑21 Jul 2022, 23:42What are the casualty figures for the 17th Airborne Division for January 1945?

Re: Casualties of 17th Airborne Div
Yeah, but most of them were probably RTD or reclassified as KIA or WIA. For the Ardennes Campaign, i.e. 16 December 1944-25 January 1945, the losses were recorded as 457 Battle Deaths, 376 KIA, 2,633 WIA, 305 Captured, and 35 MIA.Geoffrey Cooke wrote: ↑27 Jul 2022, 00:59Thanks.

Re: Casualties of 17th Airborne Div
Very high losses considering it was only involved from January 3 onward and missed the December fighting. Maybe higher than even the losses of the 82d and 101st AB Divisions

Re: Casualties of 17th Airborne Div
Did any division suffer 1,000+ battle deaths in the “Ardennes-Alsace Campaign”? It was common for pacific battles like Peleliu, Saipan, Okinawa and Iwo JimaRichard Anderson wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022, 18:21Yes.Geoffrey Cooke wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022, 14:49Is this from the Thompson study we were discussing?Richard Anderson wrote: ↑27 Jul 2022, 01:23Yeah, but most of them were probably RTD or reclassified as KIA or WIA.
