I do not know what soldiers were called but after the U.S. Marines 2nd and 3rd division utterly crushed the German 237th, 10th, 197th, 87th, and 28th Divisions in 26 days at the battle of Belleau wood; with the terrain, German use of large quantities of mustard gas, French retreat, and manpower all in favor of Germany. The Germans began calling Marines, Teufel Hunden which translates to Devil Dogs for the terrifying ferocity of Marines relentless style of fighting with no mercy down to bloody hand to hand combat. A name which is in common use among Marines today.
