Regarding the Battle of Hürtgen Forest in World War II, there is a claim that American casualties have increased significantly
There is a claim that in the Battle of Hürtgen in Germany during World War II, American casualties have greatly increased. In the reporter’s memory, the number of American dead in this sector up to the end of the war, including prisoners, was around 11,000, and after being severely repulsed once in September, they were merely holding the line with a moderate disposition of troops with the aim of pinning down the German Army. The original purpose was to prevent the Germans from sending reinforcements to Aachen, and it has changed so that even the necessity of why they attacked again in November is being debated. Before the change, because they adopted a pin-down tactic at Hürtgen for this purpose, there was also debate along the lines of, didn’t that allow the Germans to launch the Ardennes offensive in December and thus magnify the war damage? Looking only at the result, it seems that the policy of not launching a clumsy offensive and instead pinning down the enemy with a moderate disposition of troops resulted in fewer casualties, and the Allied losses in the Battle of the Bulge also seem to have skyrocketed compared to memory, perhaps as an effect of this change.
