COMBAT HIGHLIGHTS:
Rightfully proud of its "Spearhead" nickname, the
3rd Armd Div lays claim to many major "firsts," among
them, first to capture a German City and first to enter Cologne.
The Division's trek across Europe started in Normandy on 28 Jun
1944, as it began to lead the First US Army out of that province
and across France. After unwieldy fighting in the hedgerows,
the unit broke out at Marigny, with the 1st Inf Div, and swung
south to Mayenne. Ordered to help close the Falaise-Argentan
pocket which contained the German Seventh Army, the Division
finished the job near Putanges by 18 Aug. Six days later
the outfit had sped through Courville and Chartres and was located
at the banks of the Seine.
On the night of 25 Aug, the crossing of the Seine by the division
started; once over, the 3rd streaked across France to the Siegfried
Line. Toppled in the path of the Division were Meaux, Seissons,
Laon, Marle, Mons, Charleroi, Namur and Liege. It was at Mons
that the Division cut off 40,000 Nazis and captured 8,000 prisoners.
Then the Division began the first invasion of Germany since the
days of Napoleon. On 10 Sep, the Spearhead Division sent what
it claimed was the first American Field Artillery shell
onto German soil. Two days later it passed the German border
and soon breached the Siegfried Line. The 3rd was temporarily
halted during the Von Runstedt counteroffensive in the Ardennes
but it jumped into the vital battle at Houffalize, Belgium, and
severed an important highway leading to St Vith.
In January, the Division hit the road again, pushing its way
deeper into Germany. Advancing at a little better than half a
mile a day against stiff resistance, the 3rd captured ten towns
in Jan 1945, took 2,149 prisoners, and destroyed 61 armored
vehicles. It went on in February to crack the Roer River line
and swept on into the key city of Cologne in March 1945. Besides
Cologne the Division swept up Paderborn in its advance, to shut
the back door to the Ruhr. But the joy of taking Cologne was
mitigated by the battle death of the 3rd's commanding general
at the time, MG Maurice Rose. In April the 3rd crossed the Saale
River, north of Halle, and sped on toward the Elbe River. At
war's end it pulled up near Dessau. Occupational duty near Langen
was given the Division following V-E Day, a role it filled until
inactivation.

CASUALTY FIGURES
World War II
| |
Three different sets of casualty figures are shown below,
but by any method of counting, the 3rd Armored had the most total
casualties of any Allied armored division in World War II. The
Division's figures also exceeded those of all airborne divisions
except the 101st. If casualty figures, unfortunately, correspond
to some combination of combat aggressiveness, risk taking, and
the duration of engagement with the enemy, then these numbers
stand as testimony to the 3rd Armored's ordeal and its greatness.
While there is simply is no single, "official",
precise tally of casualty figures for the Division, or for other
Army divisions in Europe in WWII, the abbreviated reports below
offer the best overview.
REPORT #1
First is the set of figures from the Division's wartime history,
"Spearhead in the West," which used tallies
provided in August, 1945, by Division G-3. These figures include
the attached 703rd Tank Destroyer Battalion and the 486th Anti-Aircraft
Battalion, and at least several other units that were attached
to the Division for considerable periods.
3rd Armored Division (29 June 1944 - 12 May 1945)
| Killed in action |
2,214 |
| Wounded |
7,451 |
Missing in action,
including reported POW's |
706 |
| Battle Casualties |
10,371 |
REPORT #2
A second set of figures was complied by the History Section,
Headquarters of U.S. Army European Theater of Operations (ETO)
in Paris as part of a theater-wide historical project lasting
between March, 1945, and December, 1945, with final report in
December. These results vary slightly from the Division's own
G-3 figures from August, 1945, but apparently included updated
G-3 information, as well as newer First Army and VII Corps statistics.
3rd Armored Division (29 June 1944 - 12 May 1945)
| Killed |
2,540 |
| Wounded |
7,331 |
| Missing |
95 |
| Captured |
139 |
| Battle Casualties |
10,105 |
| Non-Battle Casualties |
6,017 |
| Total Casualties |
16,122 |
| Percent of T/O Strength |
111.5 |
REPORT #3
In 1953, a different, and questionable, set of figures was
released by Statistical and Accounting Branch, Office of the
Adjutant General, Washington, D.C., and using different counting
methods, as follows:
3rd Armored Division (7 December 1941 - 9 November 1945)
| Killed in action |
1,810 |
Died of injury (including
accidents) or disease |
470 |
Total wounded and injured
in action |
6,963 |
| Total casualties |
9,243 |
The Report #3 figures apparently do not include the attached
703rd TD Bn and 486th AAA Bn. Of the above 6,963 wounded and
injured in action, 4,408 were confirmed as having returned to
duty. In the absence of a "missing in action" category
for the Division, all soldiers were presumably eventually accounted
for, although the issue is not entirely clear in the complete
S&A Branch report.

DESTROYED ENEMY COMBAT VEHICLES
| |
From the G-3 "Official Record of Combat":
"During the 221 days of combat on the continent of Europe,
the 3rd Armored Division destroyed or overran a staggering total
of enemy equipment. Although an effort was made throughout the
Campaign to gather statistics of enemy vehicles and equipment
destroyed, the reports could never be considered statistically
accurate. When the advance was most rapid, the destruction of
enemy equipment was frequently at the maximum, but at the same
time, it was impossible to assess enemy losses accurately. In
many cases, records were lost due to enemy action. In other cases,
duplications are certain to exist. For example, the destruction
of enemy equipment at Mons was enormous and never can be properly
segregated between direct support aircraft and ground action
or, on the ground, between the 3rd Armored and 1st Infantry Divisions.
With these limitations, the figures given in the following table
can be considered only as the best possible estimate."
